Credit to Dr. Soccer90 for the find. He's a Florida-born '94 listed with their Primavera squad. http://www.genoacfc.it/pdf/Rosa_Primavera.pdf
I think this site is saying he was signed from somewhere in Uruguay. Can anyone tell by the article if he has actually represented them? http://www.grifoni.org/node/39305
I wonder if he's related to this guy who used to play in Italy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Oliver
Says eh will officially join them in the spring. He was with them for a young tournament. Their signing him it says because his great grandfather is Italian.
That article is dated from 2011. He has already played and scored in Primavera games since joining in Early Spring 2012.
Just read the article not the date of it. So yea he has represented them. But I dont think the USA is on his radar at all.
Transfermarkt links him to the Uruguay U-17s: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/bryan-olivera/profil/spieler_221075.html
Hi, i'm new in this forum and i'm a big friend of Bryan. Bryan is a player who can play at striker or a ofensive medfielder, he borned in florida because his father is a football player who used to play in the MLS but they are uruguaians. Bryan was a player of danubio in formatives but his last team in Uruguay was Club Deportivo Maldonado of the second division where he used to play in the first team. He's really good at shooting and skilling, is very technical and fast
Lately, he's been getting minutes off the bench occasionally: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/bryan-olivera/leistungsdaten/spieler_221075.html
He's playing good minutes. was he capped by Uruguay in an U-17 game? http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/bryan-olivera/leistungsdaten/spieler_221075.html
Got a goal 1/12 vs. Grosseto: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/f...eto-primavera/index/spielbericht_2257538.html
Have it Uruguay: http://www.defensorsporting.com.uy/home/ficha_bryan_olivera.php He's at Defensor Sporting in the first division it appears.
He does seem to be playing regularly for Defensor. At his age, that seems reasonably impressive. What I can't tell is whether he's had any involvement with Uruguay at any level. He's a '94 so next step would be U23s I suppose.
