On 17 July 2015, AEK Athens reached an agreement with Caracas FC for the transfer of Alain Baroja on a one-year loan. The 25-year-old Venezuelan goalkeeper was under AEK Athens radar for a while and as his team, Caracas FC, officially announced his transfer -on a one-year loan- to the Greek club was completed.

On 9 June 2016, the officials of AEK Athens announced that they are not intended to activate the buying clause on Alain Baroja’s loan contract and the Venezuelan goalkeeper will return to Caracas FC.

Under the new management of Noel Sanvicente, Dani Hernandez was used as first choice goalkeeper in the first 4 friendly games of Sanvicente. In February 2015, there were scheduled 2 matches against Honduras, but because they were out of the FIFA calendar, Sanvicente could only call players from the Venezuelan Primera División for the national team. Baroja was chosen as the starting goalkeeper and finally debuted for the national team at age 25. Venezuela won both matches against Honduras and Baroja’s performance was very well received. Baroja started again against Peru on March, a game Venezuela won 1-0 with another good performance of the goalkeeper. On 10 November 2015, Baroja is doubtful for the games with his national team, but his injury isn’t serious enough to worry AEK. Baroja played for a couple of minutes at the end of the game against Asteras Tripolis suffering two-headed muscle injury. The footballer travelled to Venezuela and according to the National team’s medical staff his injury isn’t too severe.
