Early Life and Education

He grew up in a family of modest background; his father, Gustavo, was a local football enthusiast who helped nurture his talent, while his mother, Andrea, supported his early ambitions. His older brother, Gonzalo, played a role in inspiring his passion for football.

As a child, Facundo began his football journey at Atlético de Rafaela, initially as a goalkeeper before shifting into attacking roles where he displayed natural finishing ability.

In 2014, he moved to Buenos Aires to join Boca Juniors’ youth system after excelling in local tournaments. During his time in Boca’s youth academy, he developed a reputation for composure in front of goal and technical ability. He was considered one of the academy’s most promising forwards before European scouts took notice.

He has expressed gratitude for his family’s support and has mentioned that his upbringing in Rafaela taught him discipline, humility, and a strong work ethic.

Career

Youth career:

Facundo Colidio began his career at Atlético de Rafaela and later moved to Boca Juniors’ youth setup in 2014. In 2017, Inter Milan acquired him from Boca for approximately €7 million, making him one of the most expensive teenage exports from Argentina at that time.

He joined Inter’s Primavera (U19) squad, where he developed under the club’s academy coaches and showcased good form in youth competitions.

Professional career:

Though under contract with Inter, Facundo Colidio did not make a senior appearance for the Italian club. In 2019, he was loaned to Sint-Truiden in Belgium, where he gained valuable first-team experience and scored goals in the Belgian Pro League. His spell there lasted until 2021.

In 2022, Colidio returned to Argentina on loan with Club Atlético Tigre, where he rediscovered his scoring touch. His performances helped Tigre qualify for continental competitions and reignited interest from top Argentine clubs.

In July 2023, River Plate signed Colidio permanently from Inter for a transfer fee of around €5 million. He signed a contract until December 2026. His jersey number at River Plate is #11, and he has since established himself as a versatile attacking option, capable of playing as a striker or wide forward.

He scored crucial goals for River Plate in domestic and Copa Libertadores competitions, including a notable brace against Rosario Central in late 2023 that helped secure a key win in the league title race.

Style and role:

Facundo is typically deployed as a forward or support striker, though he can also operate on either wing. Known for his intelligent movement, first touch, and link-up play, he is right-footed and combines technical finesse with strong off-ball awareness. His playing style draws comparisons to Argentine attackers like Julián Álvarez due to his versatility and pressing ability.

National teams:

He has represented Argentina at youth levels, including the U15, U17, and U20 squads. He participated in the South American U15 Championship (2015) and the Sudamericano U17 (2017) tournaments, scoring key goals and attracting attention from European clubs.

Although yet to debut for the senior Argentina national team, his performances at River Plate have led to speculation about a future call-up.
