Waldo Alonso Ponce Carrizo (born 4 December 1982 in Los Andes, Chile) is a Chilean football defender currently plays for Universidad de Concepción.
Ponce made his professional debut with Universidad de Chile in 2001. In his three years with regular play with Universidad de Chile, Ponce displayed good aerial ability both in defence and attack. This, combined with his strong and accurate free kicks, led Ponce to be loaned to German team VfL Wolfsburg, being this his first international club. In this club, Ponce only played two league matches.
Ponce returned to Universidad de Chile at the end of 2004. He was immediately inserted into the starting lineup and was an integral part of Universidad de Chile's making an appearance in the Copa Libertadores 2005. Ponce reached the final of the tournament Clausura 2005 but his team lost when he missed the final penalty which was saved by José María Buljubasich. In 2007, Ponce lived one of his best moments on Universidad de Chile, but on 11 April 2007, he was injured during a training of the club. The player was nearly three months injured, however he fully recovered in September 2007.
In February 2008, Ponce joined Vélez Sársfield of Argentine Primera División for a three-year contract with a transfer fee of $800,000. He was frequently injured and missed many matches, but on 13 April 2008, he made his Vélez debut against San Martín de San Juan, in a 2–0 Vélez's victory. Ponce scored his first team goal against Gimnasia La Plata, in a 2–1 loss. Due to the departure of Hernán Pellerano to UD Almería, Ponce became a more consistent player in Vélez' lineup. But he got injured once again, and missed the Torneo Clausura tournament for one month. The injury allowed Nicolás Otamendi to take his place in the starting line-up.
