Bruno Rodrigo Poveda Zeballos (born 22 October 2003) is a Bolivian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Bolivian club GV San José.

Club career Born in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Poveda joined Jorge Wilstermann's youth sides in 2019, from Blooming. He made his professional debut at the age of 18 on 7 December 2021, coming on as a late substitute for Daniel Sandy in a 3–0 home win over Real Tomayapo.

A third-choice during the 2022 season behind Luis Cárdenas and José Escobar, Poveda featured in his first international match on 28 April 2022, starting in a 3–1 Copa Sudamericana home loss to São Paulo.

On 16 January 2024, he was included in Antônio Carlos Zago's final 23-man list for the 2024 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament.
