Jair "Jairzinho" Julio Baylón Iglesias (born 26 February 1989) is a Peruvian footballer who currently plays for SC Braga and Peru national football team.

Jairzinho Baylón was born in Lima, Peru on February 26, 1989 where he started playing Football just when he started walking as a child in the streets of Lima with local school boys. His family quickly put him into Alianza Lima's youth academy where he excelled through the ranks, and after just one season he then signed for Portuguese Liga club SC Braga.

SC Braga manager Jorge Costa said that the youngster is part of his plans to launch an assault on the UEFA Cup, in which Baylón will be playing for with the club.

He admits after his father's death he became more interested in football, saying he would push himself at the extremes, and he also stated that since his father died he has seen football as a way to be connected to his father.

He is the son of Julio Baylón.

Baylón made his professional debut for Alianza Lima on 30 March 2008.[1]
