Sebastián Eguren Ledesma (born 8 January 1981) is a retired Uruguayan professional footballer who played mainly as a defensive midfielder.
He started his career with Montevideo Wanderers, and went on to play professionally in Norway, Sweden, Spain, Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina.
Eguren gained 57 caps for Uruguay, representing the country at the 2010 World Cup and two Copa América tournaments.
Born in Montevideo, Eguren started his career in native country, playing for Montevideo Wanderers FC (twice) and Club Nacional de Football. With the latter, after the 0–0 Copa Libertadores game against Club Deportivo El Nacional on 12 February 2004, he tested positive for cocaine, being suspended from football for six months. He blamed the coca tea, widely drunk in the Andean countries as a medicine which alleviates the effects of altitude, and got the shortest suspension for this kind of cases (this specific match was played at 2,800 meters above sea level, in Quito).
Eguren arrived at Hammarby IF from Norwegian club Rosenborg BK, on loan during the later part of the 2006 season and, on 5 December 2006, signed a three-year contract with the Swedish side, where he quickly became a fan favourite.
On 30 January 2008, Eguren joined Villarreal CF of La Liga, on loan until the end of the campaign. Almost immediately cast into the starting XI, he partnered Marcos Senna in centre midfield as the Yellow Submarine obtained its best position ever in the top flight by finishing second; in May the Spaniards decided to make the move permanent, and the player penned a three-year deal.
