About the player
Christian Cueva reached his 100th cap for Peru in June 2024, against Argentina, in a decade of international football that began in 2011 and has brought 16 goals for the national team. The high point came at the 2015 Copa América, where Peru finished third, Cueva was named the tournament's best midfielder and scored against Brazil. Four years later he played in the final of the 2019 Copa América, and he has also featured at the 2018 World Cup and at further Copa América tournaments in 2016, 2021 and 2024.
His club career started at Universidad San Martín, where he won the Peruvian Primera División in 2008 and 2010 before a brief stint at Universidad César Vallejo. A move to Chile brought a title with Unión Española in 2013, the same year he went on loan to Rayo Vallecano. After a spell back at Alianza Lima, he left Peru for a run through several leagues: Toluca in Mexico, São Paulo in Brazil, then Krasnodar in Russia, with loans to Santos and Pachuca along the way. His most productive individual season came at Al-Fateh in Saudi Arabia in 2021, when he scored 16 goals.
He returned to South American football with Cienciano in 2024 and Emelec in 2025, before joining Juan Pablo II College in Peru's Liga 1 at the start of 2026. In June 2026 he was loaned out to Sport Boys for the remainder of the season.
