Blás Miguel Riveros Galeano (born 3 February 1998) is a Paraguayan footballer who plays as a defender for FC Basel in the Swiss Super League and for the Paraguay national football team.
Club career
Olimpia Asunción
Riveros started his professional career with Olimpia Asunción in the Primera División Paraguaya after coming through their youth system. He lifted the Primera División title with the club in 2015.
Basel
On 4 May 2016 FC Basel announced that they had signed Riveros on a five-year deal. Due to Riveros commitments with the Paraguay national football team in the Copa America, he was not be expected to join the Basel first team until the beginning of July.[1] Riveros made his debut for his new team on 15 October 2016 in the home game against Luzern. The game ended with a 3–0 victory and Riveros played the full game.[2]
In the 2016–17 UEFA Youth League group stage Riveros played in each of the six matches as the Basel U-19 team qualified for the knock-out round.[3]
Under trainer Urs Fischer Riveros won the Swiss Super League championship at the end of the 2016–17 Super League season. For the club this was the eighth title in a row and their 20th championship title in total.[4] They also won the Swiss Cup for the twelfth time, which meant they had won the double for the sixth time in the clubs history.[5]
International career
On 28 May 2016 Riveros made his debut for the Paraguay national football team against Mexico and he played the full game. He was named in Paraguay's squad for the Copa América Centenario.[6] He failed to make an appearance, however, as Paraguay were eliminated at the group stages without having recorded a win.
