Universitario Signs Brazil’s Miguel Silveira, Forcing Roster Move Under Foreign-Player Cap

The club will manage an eight-foreigner squad by withholding two registrations pending nationalization, targeting resolution before the March 15 transfer window closes.

Overview

  • Universitario officially announced 22-year-old attacking midfielder Miguel Silveira, who arrives from Japan’s Albirex Niigata.
  • Silveira’s addition lifts the tally of foreign players to eight, exceeding Liga1 Te Apuesto’s seven-player limit.
  • The club has temporarily opted not to register Williams Riveros and Matías Di Benedetto while their nationalization processes advance.
  • Team officials plan to finalize eligibility across the roster within the transfer window that remains open until March 15.
  • Silveira attended the closed-door preseason friendlies against Melgar but was not used as coaches plan a gradual integration.
