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]
