Club career
editEarly career
editBorn in Lima to a military father and an accountant mother, Rivadeneyra was raised in the neighbourhood of Mariano Melgar in Arequipa. He began playing as a goalkeeper but was put as a forward once his team was winning.[1]
Rivadeneyra's first academy was Cristal de Arequipa, associated with Esther Grande, and he moved back to the capital to play for that club. After playing a friendly against the reserve team of Juan Aurich, he moved to the Chiclayo-based team in 2012 as they had a professional team. After two years in the reserves, his professional debut came on 7 June 2014 in a 2–1 home win over San Simón in the Peruvian Primera División.[1] He was playing due to injury to Erick Delgado.[2]
After spells at Universidad San Martín and Alianza Atlético, Rivadeneyra signed for Deportivo Municipal in 2018. That November, he extended his contract for another year.[3] He was linked with Alianza Lima after helping his club qualify for the Copa Sudamericana.[4] In the first round, his team lost 5–0 on aggregate to Colón of Argentina.[5]
Alianza Lima
editIn December 2019 Rivadeneyra signed for reigning champions Deportivo Binacional, their first signing since winning the title against Alianza.[6] He cancelled his contract at the club from Juliaca within a month and moved to Alianza for two years,[7] arriving to replace Pedro Gallese, who had moved abroad.[8]
Despite being expected to fight for the title, Alianza were relegated in 2020 before being reinstated due to Carlos Stein's point deduction. Rivadeneyra said he used a sports psychologist to deal with the poor year, and the team subsequently won the league a year later.[9]
Later career
editIn November 2021, Rivadeneyra signed for Carlos A. Mannucci for the coming season.[10] Having played only 8 games and conceded 15 goals, he moved a year later back to Deportivo Municipal.[11]
Deportivo Municipal and Rivadeneyra performed well in the first half of 2023, but administrative issues and poor results led to relegation, and he left in October.[12] In December, he signed for Sport Boys.[13]
International career
editIn July 2014, Peru national football team manager Pablo Bengoechea called up Rivadeneyra for a friendly against Panama the following month.[2] He was unused as Gallese played the 3–0 win at the National Stadium of Peru.[8]
Rivadeneyra was also called up for the under-22 team at the football event at the 2015 Pan American Games in Canada.[14]
