About the player
Gastón Benítez came through the youth system at Nacional Asunción, where he stayed on the books between 2019 and 2024. The clearest mark of promise in that spell came early, in August 2020, when Athletico Paranaense took him on loan to Brazil for their under-20 side, with an option to buy built into the deal — a sign of how the Brazilian club rated him at the time. He returned to Nacional at the start of 2022 to continue his development there.
Internationally, Benítez was part of Paraguay's under-17 squad for the 2019/2020 cycle, appearing in two matches at the U-17 World Cup — one as a starter, the other off the bench. He did not score in either game.
In 2024, after five years with Nacional, Benítez moved on to Sol de América, the club he now represents. A right-footed defender standing 183cm, he wears the number 5 shirt.
