Truth is, Quevedo was transferred to Universitario in 2015 when he had already aged out.

International career
Youth

Peru performed poorly in the 2017 South American U-20 Championship, with the team finished bottom with two draws and two losses. Subsequently, he was called up for the Peru national under-23 football team to represent Peru in the 2019 Pan American Games, which Peru made its football debut as hosts. The country's youth team performed poorly as well, with Peru finishing bottom in their group, but Quevedo earned praise for his performance, scoring one goal in process, and was highly recommended by manager of the U-23 team, Nolberto Solano.[7]
However, his career was dented due to the La Videna Disco scandal when he did not appear to train with Peru Olympic football team for the 2020 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament. Subsequently, it was discovered that he was instigated by three other members of the senior squad, Andy Polo, Jefferson Farfán and Raúl Ruidíaz. As for the result, Kevin Quevedo was suspended from the Olympic team by the FPF while the Peru Olympic team would go on finishing bottom and failed to qualify for the 2020 Summer Olympics.[8]
