Club career
editBorn in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Poveda joined Jorge Wilstermann's youth sides in 2019, from Blooming.[1] He made his professional debut at the age of 18 on 7 December 2021, coming on as a late substitute for Daniel Sandy in a 3–0 home win over Real Tomayapo.[2]
A third-choice during the 2022 season behind Luis Cárdenas and José Escobar, Poveda featured in his first international match on 28 April 2022, starting in a 3–1 Copa Sudamericana home loss to São Paulo. He became the youngest Bolivian goalkeeper to feature in a continental match, surpassing Luis Galarza's record with The Strongest in 1971.[3]
After spending the 2023 campaign as a backup to Paraguayan Arnaldo Giménez, Poveda became a starter in 2024.
International career
editAfter representing Bolivia at under-20 level in the 2023 South American U-20 Championship, Poveda received his first call up to the full side on 7 June 2023, for two friendlies against Ecuador and Chile.[4] On 16 January 2024, he was included in Antônio Carlos Zago's final 23-man list for the 2024 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament.[5]
