Joaquín Enrique Valerio Olivera (born 12 January 1973 in Badalona, Catalonia) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.
Valerio began playing with Real Madrid Castilla,(with whom he won the second division in 1995–96) and Albacete Balompié. From 1997–2001, he represented Real Betis, playing 12 La Liga matches (his first being on 1 November 1997, subbing in for Toni Prats who had been sent off in the 20th minute, in a 2–3 home loss against Atlético Madrid). 2000–01 was spent in the second level, as both Betis and Sevilla FC returned to the top flight.
After one season each, in the third and second divisions, with Elche CF and CD Tenerife respectively, Valerio moved in 2003 to UD Almería; in 2006–07, he appeared in four matches for the Andalusians, backing up first-choice Sander Westerveld, as the club achieved a first-ever top flight promotion.
In the 2007 summer, aged 34, Valerio returned to Elche. After only one season, he joined level three side Polideportivo Ejido, being regularly used over the course of three years.
