Jefferson Agustín Farfán Guadalupe (Peruvian Coast Spanish pronunciation: [ˈɟef.feɾ.sɤɱ ˈfaɾ.fahn], Spanish pronunciation: [ˈʝefersoɱ farˈfan]; born 26 October 1984) is a Peruvian professional footballer who mainly plays as a forward or winger for Al Jazira Club in the UAE and the Peruvian national football team.

Commonly known as Farfán or the nickname Foca (Spanish for Seal), he is known for his speed and technical ability and was one of the best providers of assists during his time in the Bundesliga.

Club career

Farfán began his professional career with Alianza Lima of Peru, with whom he signed in 2001. Although he made some appearances at first-team in 2001, Farfán only began to break through in 2002, becoming an impact player and helping Alianza win the Peruvian championship in 2003.
