Carlos Alberto Cáceda Ollaguez (born 27 September 1991) is a Peruvian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Melgar.^[3] Cáceda is known as a secured goal-stopper with quick reflexes and a speedy pace to rush off his line. He played all games when Universitario under-20 squad won the 2011 U-20 Copa Libertadores.^[4]

Club career

Cáceda began his senior career with Alianza Atlético in 2008.^[3] He was given his Torneo Descentralizado league debut by manager Teddy Cardama in Round 14 (Apertura).^[5] Cáceda entered the match for the sent-off Jorge Rivera in 22nd minute but could not help his side avoid the 1–4 defeat at home to Coronel Bolognesi.^[5] The match was his only league appearance with the Sullana club.^[3]

Then, in January 2011, Cáceda joined Universitario de Deportes' first team. However, in his first season he mainly played in the reserves. Cáceda also featured for the Universitario U20 side that won the 2011 U-20 Copa Libertadores.^[4] He played in all the matches including the final against Boca Juniors.^[4] Later that year he made his league debut for the senior team on 5 November playing from the start in the 0–0 draw at home against Inti Gas Deportes.^[6]

International career

Cáceda represented the Peru U-20 squad at the 2011 South American U-20 Championship.

In November 2012, Cáceda received his first call to join the Peruvian national team led by then manager Sergio Markarián.^[7] At the time, however, he did not participate in the friendly match against Honduras.^[8] His first appearance was on 28 May 2016 in a friendly game against El Salvador, in which Peru won 3–1.^[9] In May 2018, he was named in Peru's provisional 24 man squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.^[10] Cáceda was also part of Peru's squad at the 2019 Copa América in Brazil, in which Peru was the runner-up.^[11]

In June 2019, he was included by Nolberto Solano in Peru U-23's squad for the 2019 Pan American Games.^[12] At that time, Cáceda was 27, but each team was allowed to include a maximum of three overage players in their roster.
