Eduin Estiwer Quero Albarracín (born 22 April 1997) is a Venezuelan professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Angostura.
Club career
Born in San Cristóbal in the state of Táchira, Quero began his career with the escuela de Fútbol Banfoandes, before joining the academy of professional side Deportivo Táchira at the age of fourteen. Having made his debut in the 2015 season, he established himself as a semi-regular first team player, before being loaned to Zulia at the beginning of 2018.
Following his return to Deportivo Táchira after his involvement in the animal abuse case with teammate David Barreto, he returned to the first team for the rest of the season, before featuring sparingly the following season. Having been released by the club, he moved to Portugal, signing with second-tier Casa Pia in July 2019.
After an uneventful spell in Portugal, where he featured once in the LigaPro, Quero returned to Venezuela to sign for Deportivo La Guaira, but was immediately loaned to United States side Rio Grande Valley FC. He scored his first and only goal for the USL Championship side in a 3–0 win against Real Monarchs on 5 August 2021.
In 2022, Quero signed with Venezuelan Segunda División side Héroes de Falcón, where he established himself as a key player, scoring once in thirteen appearances in his first season. For the 2024 season, Quero returned to top-flight football, signing with Angostura.
International career
Quero was called up to the Venezuela under-20 side for the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
Personal life
In 2018, while at Zulia, Quero recorded then-teammate David Barreto appearing to abuse a cat, posting the video to his Instagram account. Quero took to Instagram to issue an apology to fans, while both players were released by the club, with Quero returning to parent club Deportivo Táchira. A criminal investigation was launched, with the pair facing 40 peso fines.
