Early career[edit]
At the age of 11, Olivera's father passed away due to an illness. He almost quit playing as a result, but was encouraged to continue by his mother.[2]
Peñarol[edit]
In January 2020, Olivera moved on loan to Peñarol, embarking on a two-year loan period with the club.[3] He made his debut for the club on 23 February 2020 in a 2–1 defeat to Defensor Sporting.[4]
In February 2021, following Peñarol's match against Nacional, Olivera was subject to racial abuse on social media from the club's fans.[5][6]
