Club career

César Arias began his career with Asociación Deportiva Belén before joining Alianza Petrolera in 2006. Arias was slowly integrated into the first team with Alianza but by 2008 became an integral member of the squad, and was one of the top scorers for the club in the Copa Premier II de Fútbol de Ascenso.[1]

With Alianza Petrolera, Arias faced Cúcuta in a Copa Colombia 2008 match and impressed directors of Cúcuta who promptly signed him. He made his debut for Cúcuta during the 2009 season.[2] In his first season with Cúcuta he appeared in 36 league matches and scored 6 goals, playing primarily as an attacking midfielder.
