Born in Rio de Janeiro, Andrey finished his formation with Botafogo. On 16 July 2014 he made his first team – and Série A – debut, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Sport Recife.[1]

Sexual assault allegation

In 2015, Andrey represented Brazil at the Pan American Games.[5] The Toronto Police Service issued arrest warrants for him and teammate Lucas Piazon, on charges of sexual assault of a 21-year-old woman whom they met at the Drake nightclub;[6] allegedly, Piazon and Ventura entered the woman's bedroom after she had gone to sleep and then assaulted her.[5] The police stated that due to the limited nature of the Ontario-wide nature of the warrant, "we can't go through the extradition process."[7][8]

The charges against Piazon were later dropped, although the charges against Andrey Ventura still stand.[9]

Andrey is the brother of Andrew, who is also a Brazilian football goalkeeper.[10]
