Mauro Andrés Olivi (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmawro oˈliβi], born 18 March 1983) is an Argentine footballer that currently plays for Liniers. He plays as striker or also as an attacking midfielder.
Olivi made his youth career at hometown club Liniers, where was promoted to the first-team in 2000, making his career debut in the Torneo Argentino A. Seasons later, Mauro was loaned to Sporting Punta Alta, scoring eight goals in 16 games during the 2004–05 season. After his loan spell at Punta Alta, he was hired by Olimpo, professional football team of the Primera División.
He made his professional debut in a 2–0 away win against Colón at Santa Fe.
On 6 July 2009, Audax Italiano signed Olivi for an undisclosed fee. He signed a five–year contract with the Chilean Primera División club. He made his league debut in a 1–0 win over Santiago Morning and his first goal came against Unión Española, in a 4−2 away win. In the debut season of Olivi in Chile scored 2 goals in 19 matches.
Olivi got off to a good start for the 2010 season scoring twice in Audax's opening league match against Ñublense. On 15 March, he scored another twice against Deportes La Serena in a 3−1 away win and in the next week scored in the loss against Universidad Católica after a very good free kick in the 13th minute. He incremented his tally goal during weeks thirteen and fourteen against Universidad de Concepción and Palestino. During FIFA World Cup break, with the likes of Matías Quiroga, Roberval and Cristian Canio all departing from the club in June, Olivi was inserted into the lead striker role. After forming a special relationship with Omar Labruna — new manager — he responded with important goals in games like the 2−2 draw with Universidad de Chile or the 3–1 victory over Colo-Colo. He ended the tournament with 18 goals behind midfielder Milovan Mirosevic with 20 goals, but in the 2010 ANFP awards, Olivi was awarded with the Golden Ball and was included in the Ideal Teams of El Gráfico and of the ANFP.
