Meza, off a stint with Club Cambá Porá, was promoted into Gimnasia y Esgrima's first-team in 2012 and subsequently made his professional debut on 10 December against Deportivo Merlo in the Primera B Nacional, he made fourteen league appearances in total in Gimansia's promotion-winning season of 2012–13.[2][4][5] In the following season, Meza became a regular for the club as he made thirty-six appearances and scored five goals; the first five goals of his career. Over the next three league campaigns he made fifty-three appearances in all competitions while scoring seven goals, the last coming versus Colón on 23 May 2016.[2]
On 18 September 2016, a week after making his 100th league appearance for Gimnasia, he left the club to sign for fellow Primera División club Independiente. His Independiente debut came in a 2016 Copa Sudamericana Round of 16 match against Brazilian side Chapecoense on 22 September.[2][4] During the 2017–18 season, Meza made nine appearances and scored three goals in Independiente's 2017 Copa Sudamericana winning campaign.[2] Ahead of January 2019, Meza completed a move to Mexico by joining Monterrey of Liga MX; signing a five-year contract.[6] He was assigned shirt number 32.[7]
Meza made his Monterrey debut on 13 January 2019 against León, before scoring his first goal in his second appearance on 20 January versus Querétaro.[2] Later that year, Meza appeared eight times as the club won the CONCACAF Champions League; coming off the bench in both legs of the final against Tigres UANL.[2][8] He was later part of the squads that won the 2019–20 Apertura and 2019–20 Copa MX.[2] Meza also appeared in three matches and scored once, versus Al Hilal, at the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup.[2]
International career
In March 2018, Meza was called up to the senior squad for friendlies with Italy and Spain later that month.[9][10] He made his debut on 27 March against Spain, playing the full ninety minutes of a 6–1 defeat at the Wanda Metropolitano.[2][11] Meza was selected in Argentina's official squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup on 21 May, having previously made the preliminary squad on 14 May.[12][13] He made his first World Cup appearance on 16 June versus Iceland.[2] He was part of a team that won the friendly Adidas Cup against Mexico in November 2018[14][15] He made Lionel Scaloni's initial forty-man squad for the 2019 Copa América, but was removed for the final tournament.[16][17]
