While the most common spelling of the name Jeremiah in Spanish is Jeremías, Recoba's father wrote the name incorrectly on his birth certificate.^[1]

On 20 April 2024, Recoba scored his first goal in his 14th match – a 6–2 home win over Rampla Juniors in the domestic league – having already registered two assists in his career.^[12] Four days later, he netted again in a 2–1 Libertadores group win over another Venezuelan opponent, Deportivo Táchira; he was congratulated for this feat by former Nacional player Luis Suárez.^[13]

Recoba is eligible to represent Italy or Uruguay at international level. He has stated he would only play for the latter.^[14]
