Biography[edit]
Advíncula started in the lower divisions of Juan Aurich, the club that made his professional
debut in 2009. He was transferred in January 2010 to Sporting Cristal, in an effort not only
to play international trophies at club level, but also with the intention to earn a spot in the
upcoming payrolls.
On 25 January 2011, an article said that Advíncula could go to the Universidad de Chile of
the First Division, not on the recommendation of then Peru national team coach Sergio
Markarian. On 17 April 2012, the Houston Dynamo from the United States submitted a bid
for Advíncula, but the deal fell apart at the last minute. On 19 July 2012, his move to SC
Tavriya Simferopol from Ukraine was confirmed, but he returned to Sporting Cristal after
only one month because the club did not meet the quota for Advíncula.
On 5 January 2013, Advíncula signed a four-year contract with German club TSG 1899
Hoffenheim of the Bundesliga. On 19 August 2014, he joined Vitória Setúbal on a 1-year
loan.[3]
On 11 March 2018, Advíncula was pronounced the fastest player in the world. He was
clocked at 36.15 Km/h against Chivas, breaking Gareth Bale’s previous record of 35.7
Km/h.

National team[edit]
Advíncula has been capped for the U-20 Peruvian national team where he played in the
South American U-20 in 2009.[4] His senior team debut was on 4 September 2010, in a
friendly against Canada. His second match was against Jamaica in another friendly match
on 7 September of that same year. He was also summoned by coach Sergio Markarian to
play the Copa America 2011 in Argentina. Advíncula also took part in the starting eleven in
the second leg of the intercontinental play-off against New Zealand on 15 November 2017.
He played a crucial part in the outcome of the 2-0 victory over New Zealand, helping Peru
qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Peru's first World Cup since 1982. In May 2018 he
was named in Peru’s provisional 24 man squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.[5]
