Alberto Sonsol Cohen (November 26, 1957 – March 25, 2021) was a Uruguayan sports journalist, sportscaster and television presenter. Alberto Sonsol was born on 26 November 1957 in the Palermo neighbourhood of Montevideo, to David Sonsol and Leonor Cohen, both of Jewish descent. His paternal grandfather, an Ashkenazi Jew whose surname was Schonsho, was the first member of the family to arrive in Uruguay; the surname was reportedly misrecorded by a customs official upon his arrival and thereafter remained Sonsol. Sonsol attended the Instituto Yavne. In January 1984, he emigrated to Israel, where he worked as a waiter in an Argentine restaurant in Tel Aviv. Later that same year, however, he returned to Uruguay, where he began working as a sports journalist. He began his career as a basketball announcer in 1984. A year later he reported his first full match for Radio Universal. Since the 1990s, he was a panelist on the program La Hora de los Deportes aired on National Television. However, during his 35 years in the media, he hosted the program 6.25 Basketball on Teledoce, and until 2017 he was a sports journalist and was in charge of sports commentary on Radio Sarandí Sport 890.
