Club career

Early life and Quilmes

[edit]

Olivera started playing football at Unión Cultural y Deportivo Eldorado de Misiones until Ricardo Kergavarat saw him play and took him to Buenos Aires to try him out at Quilmes.[2] He stayed and since then he played in the different youth categories of the club, which he arrived in 2014 when he was 15 years old and immediately adapted, scoring a lot of goals for the different youth teams. 15-year old Olivera was soon promoted to the clubs reserve team, where he made his debut against Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata and in October 2016, 17-year old Olivera started training with the professional team.[3] He was also awarded to prizes by the end of the year by Argentine Football Association.[4]

He played kept scoring goals for the reserves until on 21 June 2017 where he, without a professional contract, made his debut in the Argentine Primera División against Arsenal de Sarandí (2-2). He started on the bench, but replaced Gabriel Ramírez in the 78th minute. However, this was his first and last professional game for the club.

Universidad San Martín

[edit]

In January 2019, Olivera appeared in training sessions at Universidad San Martín in Peru, having turned 20 years old and without having signed a contract with Quilmes, at least for the moment, according to the decision of the directive.[5] The legislation says, that when a player turns 20 years old and the club haven't signed with him or the player refuses to sign his first contract, the player can go to a club in a different country from the club of origin as a free player.

Olivera did not return to Quilmes training on 3 January 2019 because he did't have a contract, and on 4 January 2019, he turned 20 and began training with Universidad San Martín. Quilmes, through the Argentine Football Association, immediately attempted a protest of the case.[6] Eventually, Olivera made the preseason with San Martín, scoring goals in friendlies and signing a contract as a free player on 10 February 2019.[7]

On 16 February 2019, he made his official debut for the club in a 1–1 draw against UTC Cajamarca, where he also scored his first goal in Peru and at a professional level. Although he began to enjoy a lot of regularity, an injury in June took him away from the courts throughout the 2019 season, returning to play in February 2020 again, after more than 7 months out of action. He left the club at the end of 2020.

Estudiantes

[edit]

In June 2021, Olivera returned to Argentina and joined Estudiantes de Río Cuarto.[8] A year later, in June 2022, Olivera was loaned out to Sportivo Las Parejas until the end of the year.[9] Ahead of the 2023, he was then loaned out to Villa Dálmine for the rest of 2023.[10] However, the loan was cut short, as the club confirmed on 31 August 2023, that Olivera was one of a few players that had been dismissed from the squad.[11]
