Sosa represented Deportivo Táchira and Talleres de Córdoba. On 29 July 2019, he moved to Europe and joined Spanish Segunda División side AD Alcorcón on loan for one year.[2] On 27 August of the following year, his loan was extended for a further season.[3]
Sosa was called up to the Venezuela under-20 side for the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[4] He scored the seventh goal in his side's 7–0 victory over Vanuatu.[5]
Sosa took part in his side's run to the final, particularly scoring an injury-time equalizer against Uruguay through a spectacular free-kick as his side beat their fellow South American rivals on penalties to advance to the final, with Sosa scoring his attempt.
He made his Venezuela national football team debut on 1 June 2019, in a friendly against Ecuador, as a half-time substitute for Adalberto Peñaranda.[6]
