Fabrizio Fernando Roca Reyes (born 20 March 2002) is a Peruvian footballer who plays as a forward for Sport Boys in the Peruvian Primera División.
Born in Lima, Roca began his professional career at Deportivo Llacuabamba. He made his debut in the Peruvian Primera División on 9 October 2020 as a late substitute in a 2–0 home loss to Sport Huancayo. He played one more game and was released when his team were relegated at the end of the season. He came close to retiring due to not finding a new team for 2021, eventually signing for Comerciantes Unidos in July. [1]
Early in 2022, Roca was approached by Club Universitario de Deportes in his hometown, who said that the 20-year-old would play in their reserve team. He then signed for Sport Boys of Callao due to receiving a more satisfactory contract offer. [1] He played six games, four as a starter, and scored his first career goal on 15 October in a 5–3 home loss to Sporting Cristal, after taking advantage of a poor pass by opponent Omar Merlo. [1] [2]
In 2023, Roca scored 9 goals in 34 games for Sport Boys as they avoided relegation. On 3 October, he scored twice in a 2–1 win over Cusco FC at the Estadio Miguel Grau. [3] At the end of the season, he extended his contract until the end of 2025. [4]
In October 2023, Roca was called up to the Peru national football team for 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Argentina and Chile. [5] Still uncapped, he was called up by manager Jorge Fossati to the preliminary squad for the 2024 Copa América in the United States, [6] but missed out on the final 26-man squad. [7]
