Paco Camarasa
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Family name hatnote Template:Infobox football biography Francisco 'Paco' José Camarasa Castellar (born 27 September 1967) is a Spanish former footballer who played mainly as a central defender.
Club career
Camarasa was born in Rafelbunyol, Valencian Community. For 13 professional seasons he played solely with local club Valencia CF, making his first-team debut during 1987–88 (one game, as the Che had just returned from the Segunda División). Eventually, he became an undisputed starter, making 333 competitive appearances.[1][2]
Towards the end of his career, injuries and loss of form limited Camarasa to just 11 La Liga matches over four campaigns. He played a minor part in Valencia's 1999 conquest of the Copa del Rey, retiring in June of the following year at nearly 33 years of age.[3]
Subsequently, Camarasa remained working at the Mestalla Stadium as a match delegate.[4][5] In March 2020, he was one of five persons connected to the organisation that tested positive for COVID-19 virus during the coronavirus pandemic in Spain.[6]
International career
Camarasa earned 14 caps for Spain,[7] and was in the squad for the 1994 FIFA World Cup, appearing 13 minutes against Germany in the group stage after coming on as a substitute for Pep Guardiola[8] and playing the entire round-of-16 win over Switzerland (3–0).[9]
