Williams Ismael Riveros Ibáñez (born 20 November 1992) is a Paraguayan professional footballer who plays as a defender for Peruvian Liga 1 club Universitario de Deportes.[1]

Career

[edit]

Riveros' career began in Paraguay with Sportivo Trinidense, who he made two appearances for in the 2010 Paraguayan Primera División season; his debut arriving on 1 August during a 1–5 loss to Cerro Porteño.[1][2] The club was relegated in 2010, Riveros subsequently remained with them for two seasons in the División Intermedia.[3]

In January 2013, he left to join Primera B Metropolitana's Flandria in Argentina.[1] He made sixteen appearances for Flandria before netting his first goal, versus Tristán Suárez on 18 April 2014.[1] Riveros scored three goals in his first three campaigns, before scoring six times in the following three.[1][4] On 25 July 2017, Argentine Primera División side Temperley took him on a loan.[5][6] His first match came on 27 August against River Plate.[1] Overall, Riveros featured fifteen times whilst on loan with Temperley and, with him, the club was relegated to the Primera Nacional.[7] He returned to a recently relegated Flandria in July 2018, prior to immediately leaving on loan once again to Ecuadorian club Delfín.[8] Riveros netted on his Delfín debut, scoring the opening goal of a 2–0 victory over L.D.U. Quito.[1] He became a key player and contributed to Delfín winning the 2019 Serie A and finishing as the runners-up of the 2019 Copa Ecuador.[9]

In January 2020, Riveros was signed by Barcelona de Guayaquil.[10] In 2022, he was sent on loan for one season to Cerro Porteño in Paraguay, where he played 14 games and was barely selected in the second half of the season.[11]

In 2023, he was again sent on loan for one season to Universitario de Deportes in Peru, where he would play both the Liga 1 and the Copa Sudamericana. Riveros made his debut on matchday 4 of the Apertura phase against Unión Comercio; a game in which he did not have a good performance, being criticized for that. After the arrival of manager Jorge Fossati, he had a marked improvement in his game.[12] On matchday 8 of the Clausura phase, Riveros scored the winning goal in a 1–0 home victory against Deportivo Binacional.[13] As his first season went on, he became an undisputed starter for la U and won his third national title after Universitario defeated Alianza Lima in that year's finals. In December, after running out his contract with Barcelona, Riveros signed for Universitario with a contract for 2 seasons.[14]
