Samir Villacorte

Villacorta's route into Peru's top flight ran through his own city. He was in the Deportivo Garcilaso squad during the 2022 Copa Perú campaign that took the Cusco club up to Liga 1, and in January 2023 he joined the first-team setup. No fee was recorded for the move up: he came through the club's own development route rather than from another squad's books.

The one club on his record before Garcilaso is Deportivo César Ccahuantico, where he played in 2019.

He plays at right-back, and the profile is a modest one for the position — 170 cm, right-footed, wearing 33. Minutes have been hard to come by. Across the 2026 Liga 1 season he has around six appearances to his name and 63 minutes on the pitch, with no goals or assists.

His market value is listed at roughly €227,400. He has not been capped by Peru at senior, under-20 or under-17 level, and has no individual awards or team titles to his name.

One small complication follows him through the record books: some databases list him as Samir Villacorte, others as Samir Villacorta, and the two spellings sit side by side across the sites that track him.
