Víctor Manuel Marchena Navarro (22 September 1914 – 6 June 1981) was a Peruvian professional footballer who played as goalkeeper.
Víctor Marchena is one of the most iconic goalkeepers of Sport Boys of Callao, his hometown.[2] He won the Peruvian championship twice there in the 1930s (1935 and 1937).[3] After a brief stint with Atlético Chalaco, Sport Boys' arch-rival, he returned to the latter club in 1942 and won his third championship.[3] He remained there until 1945, the year he retired.
A Peruvian international, Víctor Marchena participated in the 1936 Berlin Olympics as Juan Valdivieso's backup.[2] In 1938, he won the Bolivarian Games with Peru,[4] earning his only cap for the national team, against Ecuador on 11 August 1938 (a 9–1 victory).[5]
