Osama Vinladen Jiménez López (born 7 October 2002) is a Peruvian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Peruvian Segunda División side Unión Comercio.

2017

Vinladen was part of the Peru U-15 squad which participated in the 2017 South American U-15 Championship.

Vinladen is named after Osama bin Laden, the founder of the terrorist group Al-Qaeda; the difference in spelling is due to the similarity of b and v in Spanish.

Vinladen has a brother named Sadam Huseín, the Spanish spelling of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, and his sister called Georgia Bush.

Vinladen said of his unusual name: "There is a person called Hitler also in Peru. Jesus saved the world and there are Jesuses who do harm. Because there is an Osama who killed people, I don’t think there has to be a law about the name. It draws a lot of attention, from what I see."

2018

Born in Rioja, Vinladen made his professional debut for Unión Comercio in the Peruvian Primera División on 30 May 2018 against Universidad San Martín.
