Piero Aldair Quispe Córdova (born 14 August 2001) is a Peruvian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Liga MX club UNAM and the Peru national team.

Club career

Universitario de Deportes

A youth product of CD Hector Chumpitaz, Quispe played the 2017 Copa Peru at the District Stage in the Los Olivos League with that team,[1] before moving to the youth academy of Universitario de Deportes in the same year. He was later promoted to the club reserves in 2019, scoring three goals in the 2019 Torneo de Promoción y Reserva. Quispe began his senior career with Universitario in 2021, playing in the Peruvian Liga 1[2] and making his professional debut in March in matchday 2, in a 1–3 defeat against Academia Cantolao. In July 2021, he scored his first professional goal with la U in matchday 1 of Liga 1's Fase 2 in a 2–2 tie against Alianza Atlético. Following an injury to teammate Hernán Novick after the Peruvian Clásico against Alianza Lima, manager Gregorio Pérez gave Quispe an opportunity, and he stood out in a 4–0 victory against Alianza Universidad and scored his second professional goal playing as a starter in the next match, a 3–1 victory against Sport Huancayo.

He played in the second qualifying stage of the 2022 Copa Libertadores with Universitario against Barcelona de Guayaquil, but the team ended up losing both home and away matches and was eliminated from the tournament. In April 2022, Quispe signed a contract tying him with the club until 2025.[3] In that year's season, he was the Universitario player with the most appearances (35).[4] The next season, in the 2023 Copa Sudamericana first stage match against Cienciano, Quispe scored the first goal in a 2–0 victory which allowed los cremas to proceed to the group stage of the tournament.[5] He played a leading role in said group stage and scored the winning goal in a 1–0 victory against Gimnasia de La Plata in the last matchday;[6] this triumph made Universitario reach a total of 10 points and advance to the knockout round play-offs.[7] Universitario was eliminated from the tournament by Corinthians in those play-offs, with Quispe being one of the few players to stand out in the return home game.[8] In October 2023, after a 2–0 victory against Sport Huancayo, Universtario won the Clausura phase of the 2023 Liga 1, with Quispe being chosen as the best player of said phase.[9] In November, the team won the national title after defeating Alianza Lima 3–1 on aggregate in the finals. In December, he was chosen as the best player of the season amid rumours of his departure from both Universitario and the Liga 1.[10]

UNAM

On 27 December 2023, Mexican club UNAM announced the signing of Quispe on a permanent deal, starting from the 2024 Clausura season.[11] He scored his first goal with Pumas on matchday 15 of the 2024 Torneo Clausura, in a 1–0 victory against León.[12] During the 2024 Torneo Apertura, Quispe became a regular starter for Pumas and scored in the 0–1 victory against Club América in the Clásico Capitalino.[13]

International career

Quispe debuted with the Peru national team in a 1–0 friendly win over Bolivia on 19 November 2022.[14] In November 2023, he played his first official match against Bolivia in a 0–2 away defeat, being considered one of the few Peruvian players that stood out.[15] Quispe would score his first international goal in a friendly against the Dominican Republic.[16] In October 2024, he made an assist for a Miguel Araujo goal in a 1–0 win against Uruguay, giving Peru its first victory in the 2026 CONMEBOL World Cup qualification.[17]
