Wuilker Faríñez Aray (born 15 February 1998) is a Venezuelan professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Venezuelan club Caracas FC and the Venezuela national team.
Born in Caracas, Faríñez joined Caracas FC's youth setup in 2011. On 12 June 2013 he signed a three-year professional deal with the club, being promoted to the main squad. After Alain Baroja left Caracas FC, Faríñez became the first-choice goalkeeper of the club for the 2015 Torneo Adecuación despite being only 17 years old at the time. On 30 August he established a new record at the club after playing 689 minutes without conceding a goal.
After great performances during the tournament he was chosen again as first-choice for 2016 Venezuelan Primera División season. In February 2016 he started for Caracas FC in a 2016 Copa Libertadores first stage match against Huracán, and had a brilliant performance only allowing one goal and keeping his team with options to pass to the second stage. Despite his efforts Caracas was eliminated from the competition after a last-minute goal of Huracán in the second leg match.
On December 14 Fariñez was included in the AUFP Venezuela´s Team of the Season, as the 2016 Venezuelan Primera División season´s best goalkeeper.
Faríñez has represented Venezuela at all youth levels, from the under-15 side to the under-20 side. He started the 2013 South American Under-15 Football Championship as the first-choice goalkeeper in the opening match against Colombia and conceded four goals on a 2-4 defeat for Venezuela. Faríñez was an un-used substitute on the next game against Brazil. He returned to the starting line-up for the game against Uruguay in which he conceded four goals again on the third defeat in a row for the Venezuelan team. He ended the tournament playing two games of the possible four and conceding eight goals.
