He had such an outstanding 2014 season that, recommended by Universitario's former footballer Héctor Chumpitaz, he was finally signed by that club to play for their Reserves squad.[3] It is mistakenly believed that he has played for Universitario's youth academy because Quevedo played for the Reserves squad before his professional debut. Truth is, Quevedo was transferred to Universitario in 2015 when he had already aged out.

International career

Youth

He was first called up for Peru national under-20 football team during its attempt to qualify for the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Peru performed poorly in the 2017 South American U-20 Championship, with the team finished bottom with two draws and two losses. Subsequently, he was called up for the Peru national under-23 football team to represent Peru in the 2019 Pan American Games, which Peru made its football debut as hosts. The country's youth team performed poorly as well, with Peru finishing bottom in their group, but Quevedo earned praise for his performance, scoring one goal in process, and was highly recommended by manager of the U-23 team, Nolberto Solano.[10]

However, his career was dented due to the La Videna Disco scandal when he did not appear to train with Peru Olympic football team for the 2020 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament. Subsequently, it was discovered that he was instigated by three other members of the senior squad, Andy Polo, Jefferson Farfán and Raúl Ruidíaz. As for the result, Kevin Quevedo was suspended from the Olympic team by the FPF while the Peru Olympic team would go on finishing bottom and failed to qualify for the 2020 Summer Olympics.[11]

Senior

He made his debut in the encounter against Ecuador in a friendly game on 6 September 2019, where Peru was beaten 0–1 by Ecuador.[12]
