Venezuelan Midfielder Arquímedes Figuera Set to Join UTC for 2026 Liga 1 Season

Coach Carlos Bustos targeted the 36-year-old for his experience to anchor UTC’s midfield.

Overview

  • Peruvian reports, citing journalist Nicolas Roman, say Figuera has agreed to join UTC for the upcoming campaign.
  • He is expected to arrive in Cajamarca in the coming hours to sign his contract and begin preseason work.
  • The veteran logged 31 matches and over 2,400 minutes for Blooming in 2025, recording one assist.
  • He chose UTC’s sporting project over offers in Bolivia, including interest from Oriente Petrolero.
  • A former Universitario and César Vallejo player with 25 Venezuela caps, he is viewed as a piece to help UTC push away from the lower table and chase a Copa Sudamericana berth.
