Raúl Fernández Valverde (born 31 January 1986 in Lima, Peru) is a professional Peruvian football player who currently plays for Universitario de Deportes. He started to play for the youth team of Universitario de Deportes and made his way to the first-team.
After Juan Flores signed with Cienciano for the 2007 season, José Carvallo took over as Universitario's starting goalkeeper. Jose Carvallo gained the team's trust because of his goalkeeping skills. However, during the Clausura 2007, the coach Julio Gomez decided to give Raul Fernandez a chance to start. He made his debut on September 22, 2007 playing against Total Clean and gained Gomez's trust because of his style of goalkeeping. Raul Fernandez became the starting goalkeeper of Universitario after that game.
He was called up to play for the Peru national football team by Jose del Solar for a friendly match against Costa Rica.
