Marcos Alexander Lliuya Cristobal

Marcos Alexander Lliuya Cristobal made his name at Sport Huancayo, where he spent nine seasons after joining in August 2015. Across 342 appearances he scored 16 goals for the club, a run of service that turned him into one of the squad's defining figures and took him into four separate Copa Sudamericana campaigns, in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. In 2018 he was named to the Ideal Team of the Torneo de Verano de Perú and was singled out as the best player in a Copa Sudamericana tie against Unión Española.

That same year, Lliuya spoke openly about never having been called up to the Peru national team, a gap that has stayed with him despite the recognition he earned domestically. Before settling at Sport Huancayo, he had moved through several lower-division sides, including Unión La Calera, Defensor Zarumilla, Santos F.C., Sport Victoria, Deportivo Municipal and José Carlos Mariátegui, picking up experience across different levels of the Peruvian game.

His time at Sport Huancayo came to an end in November 2024, and he signed for Alianza Universidad on a free transfer for the 2025 season. A single campaign there was followed by another move: in December 2025 he joined UTC on a free transfer, agreeing a contract that runs to the end of 2026. Born in Chincha Alta, he continues his career now at UTC.
