Alberto Quintero

Mexico Following a successful campaign for Panama at the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Quintero caught the attention of C.F. Pachuca, who was due to sign him in August 2013. Nothing came of it, but he moved to another club in Mexico, Ascenso MX's Lobos BUAP.

After spells at C.F. Mérida and Mineros de Zacatecas, Quintero returned to BUAP in January 2015. Eleven months later, he was loaned to San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer, scoring two of his three total goals on 12 May in the 3–1 home victory over Houston Dynamo FC.

Peru Quintero joined Peruvian Primera División side Club Universitario de Deportes on 30 January 2017. He scored a career-best 13 goals in his first season.

Quintero won the Apertura 2020. On 16 November 2022, the 35-year-old signed a contract with Cienciano in the same league.

International career Quintero was part of the Panama squad that participated in the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada. He made his full debut that same year, in a friendly against Guatemala.

Quintero represented his country in 14 FIFA World Cup qualification matches, and was selected for the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup, helping the Canaleros to finish second in the United States. He was also picked for the following edition, scoring in the group stage opener against Haiti (1–1).

In May 2018, Quintero was named in Panama's final 23-man squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. On 6 June, however, he suffered a fractured foot in a friendly with Norway after a collision with Bjørn Johnsen, thus being ruled out of the tournament and replaced by Ricardo Ávila.

On 5 September 2019, Quintero played his 100th match against Bermuda. The 38-year-old was selected for the 2026 World Cup, making his last appearance in the final group fixture, a 2–0 loss to England in East Rutherford, New Jersey that was also his first ever in the competition.
