Facundo Cambeses: history and career
Facundo Nicolás Cambeses was born on April 9, 1997, in Longchamps, province of Buenos Aires. Standing 1.85 m tall and weighing 84 kg, he is known by the nicknames “Kahnbeses” and “Dios”.
Revealed by the youth teams of Club Atlético Banfield, Cambeses made his professional debut on March 18, 2019, in a 2-2 draw against Godoy Cruz, already under the command of Hernán Crespo.
In August 2020, Cambeses was loaned to Huracán, a club for which he has always shown support and affection. For “Globo”, he played 15 official matches before returning to Banfield in mid-2021.
At the beginning of 2024, after a market dispute between Vélez Sarsfield and Racing Club, the goalkeeper chose to transfer to the Avellaneda team. The deal was closed on January 3, 2024, for around 2 million dollars, with a long-term contract.
His debut for Racing took place on January 31, 2024, in the 3-0 victory over Tigre, when he replaced Gabriel Arias at halftime and played the entire second half. As a reserve, Cambeses was in the squad to win the 2024 Copa Sudamericana and the 2025 Recopa Sudamericana.
Ownership at Racing
From the middle of 2025, he started to share the starting line-up with Arias, due to the technical decline of the Chilean goalkeeper. In the 2025 Copa Libertadores, he entered the final minutes of the round of 16 clash against Peñarol, when the aggregate draw indicated a possible penalty shootout – which ended up not happening.
In the quarter-finals, against Vélez Sarsfield, he started both matches. In the second game, Uruguayan referee Esteban Ostojich disallowed an opponent’s goal thanks to a spectacular defense by Cambeses, who managed to avoid the goal by intercepting the ball on the line. From then on, he established himself as a starter for the team.
