Club career

After playing for local clubs, he joined IFK Göteborg in 1997, the club he played for until January 2008.

He scored his first league goal for IFK Göteborg on May 7, 2007, against Örebro SK. The remarkable goal, a rabona kick from outside the penalty area, was by most experts seen as a candidate for the best goal of that year in Sweden.[3]

In December 2007 Vasquez was signed by Swiss club FC Zürich on a 4-year-contract.

International career

Andrés Vasquez rejected a call-up to the Peru national football team for a friendly with Costa Rica in March 2009 by coach José del Solar.
