Francisco 'Paco' José Camarasa Castellar (born 27 September 1967 in Rafelbunyol, Valencia) is a former Spanish footballer, who played mainly as a central defender.

[edit] Football career

For 13 professional seasons, Camarasa played solely with Valencia CF, making his first team debuts during 1987-88 (one match, as the Che had just returned from the second division). Eventually, he became an undisputed starter, amassing more than 300 overall official matches with the club.

Towards the end of his career, injuries and loss of his career limited Camarasa to just 12 league constests in four seasons combined, and he played a minor part in Valencia's 1999 King's Cup conquest, retiring in June 2000.

He earned 14 international caps for Spain, and was in the squad for the 1994 FIFA World Cup, appearing 25 minutes against Germany in the group stage and playing the entire round of 16 win against Switzerland (3-0).
