Delete - Fails
NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a
fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy
GNG.

Delete - He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails
WP:NSPORT and
WP:GNG.

Weak delete - BLP about a semi-pro footballer who has only received limited coverage in reliable sources (the article on the es:Wikipedia has a few interviews and articles that don't really amount to GNG-compliance).

Comment - in those AfDs, for the players kept, either the matches in the Club World Cup in which they played were between teams from two fully professional leagues or sufficient third party sources were found to support GNG. As this player does not and has not played for a team in a fully professional league, they need to explicitly satisfy GNG.

I voted !Keep in Tade's AfD, but I thought he had a stronger notability claim for having participated in multiple Club World Cups and had slightly more in-depth coverage towards satisfying the GNG. I'd like to think that article could have been expanded by now, but Tavano's seems less plausible given the lack of high-profile matches thus far in his career.

Keep. 5 games at 2 FIFA Club World Cups, including playing in the semi final and winning the bronze medal with a minnow side like AKC is akin to Iceland getting to semis in the Euros, and got to generate more coverage, like those above, and in depth interviews like
this, than a
couple of substitute appearances in a local cup, or
46 minutes in a regional cup competition, so common sense applies. Article needs improving not deleting. Club

Comment - some comments on the sources presented above which claim to satisfy GNG:
Oceania Football - this is a
primary source, the interview is from the OFC's official website, GNG needs coverage in secondary sources.
tiemporeal.mx - this is simply a brief article that states little more than he is a Mexican player in New Zealand, difficult to see how this could be used to build out much encyclopedic content
voxy.co.nz - Although the article title mentions the player, this is not significant coverage of the player himself, with the article mentioning him in the context of
routine transfer talk before spending most of the article discussing his club.
ESPN - significant enough in my opinion to help support GNG, but this coupled with one other Spanish source of minimal length isn't really enough overall.

If that player were to come to AfD again I would probably err on the side of caution and say that it probably is primary in the sense that both articles are essentially using the interview with the player to promote club's belonging to their confederation's participation in the club world cup. On your other sources:
apuntesderabona - looks like a blog to me, not really sure of its significance in terms of coverage
Univision - doesn't really discuss the player in great depth, about half of the brief-ish article talks about games Auckland might play in the tournament and elements are openly credited as having been lifted from his clubs official (and therefore WP:PRIMARY webpage)
maquinacementera.com - does add a bit more significant coverage, but I'm not completely convinced. There seems to be a fair bit of little articles out there and a couple of interviews, but I'm not sure there is enough for GNG.

I reached the same conclusion at Fenix down regarding the GNG. Most of the sources in the es:Wikipedia article don't qualify as significant coverage in reliable sources (apuntesderabona and maquinacementara are self-published blogs) and the few that come close just aren't enough.
