Career

De Olivera developed at the Danubio academy before playing for Montevideo Wanderers and Montevideo City Torque. He left Montevideo City Torque for Chilean club Barnechea in 2021.[2]

De Olivera moved to Juticalpa of Honduras in 2023, then playing in the second-tier Liga de Ascenso.[3] He helped Juticalpa avoid relegation from the Liga Nacional and, after being released by the club, joined league rivals Olancho in May 2025.[4] For Olancho, he scored 19 goals in the 2025 Apertura of the Liga Nacional, breaking a 56-year-old record for goals scored by a foreign player in a split season of the Honduran league and equalling the record for goals scored by any player in the same setting.[5] In January 2026 Motagua announced the signing of De Olivera.[6]
