Club career
Joel Pinto was born in Independencia. He began his career with Alianza Lima, joining the club at the age of 17.[2] He made his league debut in Torneo Descentralizado in the final round of the 2000 season.[3]
He then joined Coopsol Trujillo in 2001.[4] In his time there he competed with Jaime Muro and Pablo Pérez to be the first choice keeper.[4]
On 7 March 2024, Pinto started for Sport Huancayo in a 2–0 loss to César Vallejo in the 2024 Copa Sudamericana first stage, becoming, at the age of 43 years and 279 days, the oldest-ever player in the history of the Copa Sudamericana, surpassing Uruguayan Richard Pellejero's record.[5][6]

Pinto was called up to Peru's national team by Sergio Markarián on September 27, 2012 ahead of their game against Bolivia in La Paz for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign.[7] However, Pinto only served as a substitute choice as José Carvallo was picked ahead of him as the starting goalkeeper.[8]
