Career
societies
The midfielder , who began his career as a striker and was later also used as a central defender , comes from the youth of Voetbalvereniging IJsselstein (VVIJ) from the municipality of the same name in the province of Utrecht . In 1989 he moved to Feyenoord Rotterdam , where he received his first professional contract, but continued to play mainly in the second team. His only first division game he completed on December 17, 1989 (17th matchday) in the 3-0 defeat in the away game against RKC Waalwijk with a substitution for Tom Krommendijk in the 72nd minute.
For the 1991/92 season he moved to Bayern Munich for 150,000 Deutschmarks . But even with Bayern he was unable to assert himself and soon found himself in the top division team . Without commitment for the professional team, he left them and returned to the Netherlands in 1993.
At the second division side De Graafschap Doetinchem , Victoria then succeeded in becoming a top performer. His debut on August 27, 1995 (3rd matchday) in the 1: 4 defeat in the away game against Sparta Rotterdam, he crowned immediately with his first goal, the hit to the final score in the 73rd minute.
After two seasons in which he scored nine goals in 53 second division games, managed via the play-off relegation to the rise in the Eredivisie , the highest Dutch league. After another three seasons, in which he scored seven goals in 86 first division games for the Doetinchem club , he was looking for a new challenge and in 1998 moved to league rivals Willem II Tilburg . For this, the playmaker quickly developed into a regular player; in his first season he cut off with the club as second in the championship . After his eighth and final season - now also team captain - he scored six goals in 198 top division games. In 2006 he moved for one season to the Cypriot first division club AEK Larnaka , for which he played 22 (of 26) league games and finished seventh in the championship.
In August 2007 he signed a contract for the rest of the season with the second division club ADO Den Haag , where he worked as a central defender, played his last league game on February 8, 2008 in a 3-0 home win against Telstar and his career after the season finished.
National team
However, after completing five U-19 internationals for the Dutch youth team, Victoria decided to play for his parents' homeland. He made his debut for the national team of the Netherlands Antilles on February 18, 2004 in Saint John’s in the 2-0 defeat against Antigua and Barbuda in the first leg of the first qualifying round for the 2006 World Cup in Germany . He played his last international game on June 20, 2004 in San Pedro Sula in the 4-0 defeat in the second leg of the second qualifying round for the 2006 World Cup against the selection of Honduras' .
