==International career== His talent caught the attention of the team coach and he was soon a regular starter for the team in the Uruguayan football league. At the same time he also impressed scouts for the Uruguay national football team, though he would have to wait a few years and join the U-20 team after he turned eighteen.
On 23 June 2007, he suffered a knee trauma and his participation in the upcoming 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup was at one point in doubt, but eventually he played with the Uruguayan U20 team which drew 2–2 against Spain, beat Jordan 1–0, lost 2–0 against Zambia, and was eliminated in the second round losing 2–1 against the United States of America. Like his team mates Cavani and Suárez, Surraco played in all these games except against Zambia.<ref>{{FIFA player|267840}}</ref>
