Franco Ezequiel Calderón

Franco Calderón grew up in Hermoso Campo, in Argentina's Chaco province, before making his name at Unión de Santa Fe, where he spent four seasons and made 131 appearances across all competitions.

At the start of 2024, Calderón left Argentina as a free agent to join Universidad de Chile. Standing 1.88m, he wears the left foot as his stronger side.

Calderón has also featured for Argentina's youth ranks, where he was used both as a central defender and at full-back, showing the versatility to slot into different roles across the back line. That adaptability has been a feature of his game since his days in Santa Fe, rather than a switch made only after his move to Chile.

He has yet to add a major trophy or individual award to his career, and his time at Universidad de Chile is still in its early stages following the January 2024 transfer. For now, his profile remains built on the foundation laid during his years at Unión de Santa Fe, where steady appearances rather than headline moments defined his rise.
