Wilmer Aguirre is one of the 4 soccer players who play in Liga 1 and are over 40 years old.

The current forward of Deportivo Garcilaso will turn 40 years old in the month of May and he will be one of the oldest players in Liga 1 2023.

Wilmer Aguirre refuses to hang up his cleats. And it is because it was believed that the 'Zorrito' would announce his retirement after his back-to-back championships with Alianza Lima in 2021 and 2022. However, he surprised everyone this year by signing with the newly promoted Deportivo Garcilaso from the city of Cusco, a club where he will turn 40 years old while still active.

It turns out that this coming Wednesday, May 10th, the 'Zorrito' will celebrate his 40th birthday and become the fourth oldest footballer in the current Liga 1.

This is because Joel Pinto (42), Daniel Ferreyra (41), and Hernán Rengifo (40) are the other players who have surpassed the four decades mark in the local championship.

Wilmer Aguirre is having little activity with Garcilaso

The former Alianza Lima player is not having many opportunities in the Cusco team, as he has only played three games so far this season (against Vallejo, UTC, and Cusco), totaling 127 minutes of play.

The competition is strong in Aguirre's position, considering that Deportivo Garcilaso has Argentine player Santiago Giordana, who is a starter and the current top scorer of the championship with 7 goals.

Who are the oldest footballers in Liga 1 2023?

Three are over 40 and three are 39 years old. But this will change in May when the 'Zorro' celebrates his birthday.

  • Joel Pinto from Sport Huancayo: 42 years old
  • Daniel Ferreyra from Cusco FC: 41 years old
  • Hernán Rengifo: 40 years old
  • Wilmer Aguirre from Deportivo Garcilaso: 39 years old (turns 40 in May)
  • Hernán Barcos from Alianza Lima: 39 years old
  • Diego Penny from Deportivo Garcilaso: 39 years old
