Joel Adrián Huiqui Andrade (born 18 February 1983) is a Mexican former professional footballer. His paternal surname is of Mayo origin (a group of indigenous of Sonora and Sinaloa).

Career[]

Joel Huiqui started his career in Hermosillo Hidalgo in the Primera Division 'A' which is the youth team of Cruz Azul, but debuted with C.F. Pachuca as a loan from Cruz Azul who did not debut him. He debuted in a game over CF Querétaro in a 0-0 tie in the 2003 Apertura. Playing two tournaments with Pachuca in a total of 38 games, he was later given back to Cruz Azul, where he earned a starting eleven position in 2004. Huiqui played in Mexico minor U-23 and for the senior Mexico national team, in the qualification for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. However, Mexican coach Ricardo La Volpe left Huiqui out of the 23 players who went to the 2006 World Cup. He had also captained the national team during 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

He became infamous for an incident during the 2009 Liguilla semi-final against Morelia where he blatantly used his hand to prevent Wilson Tiago Mathías from scoring by tossing the ball away. He later played for Monarcas Morelia.[1]

On 26 January 2018 Huiqui moved to new United Soccer League team Las Vegas Lights FC with fellow Mexican Édgar Lugo.[2][3]
