Club career
Product of Colo-Colo youth ranks, he won eight titles in his career with that club, being his most successful moment with the coach Claudio Borghi, when he also was named during the 2007 season at the Chilean Primera División Best Eleven. Although Riffo was born with a club foot, that complicated him very much, because he had to make several operations in his foot. In the 2010 season, he abandoned the club, because the Argentine coach Diego Cagna not considered him for the next season and in January 2011, he signed for Santiago Morning.
In March 2012, he announced his retirement from professional football, because Morning was relegated to the Primera B and also Riffo was titled as football coach at the ANFP, the last season that he played.
International career
He also has represented the Chilean national team on several occasions. He played in one game during the Copa América 2007 versus Brazil in which he committed a penalty. Later in the match Riffo was injured for the tournament. Riffo played in the first four games of the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification for Chile. Riffo started the first four games receiving a yellow card against Argentina. However, he was not recalled after the fourth match for the rest of the qualification process.
