About the player
Raúl Castro Peñaloza started out in the amateur leagues of La Paz, first with Mariscal Braun, where he won several AFLP titles, then with Unión Maestranza, where he added two more regional championships.
After renewing his contract in January 2018, he left in December 2021 for Jorge Wilstermann, where he played 35 league matches in the 2022 season, then moved on a free transfer to Universitario de Vinto, where over three seasons he made 93 appearances and scored four goals. In January 2026 he returned to The Strongest, again as a free agent.
Castro's international career brought him 24 caps for Bolivia without a goal. He featured at the 2016 Copa América Centenario, playing against Chile and Venezuela, and returned for the 2019 Copa América, appearing against Brazil, Peru and Venezuela. He was also part of Bolivia's campaigns for the 2018 World Cup, facing Argentina, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, Venezuela and Paraguay in qualifying, and turned out again in qualification for the 2022 World Cup against Argentina.
