Francisco Petrasso (born 28 January 2002) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Primeira Liga club Rio Ave.

Club career

Independiente Rivadavia

Petrasso came through the River Plate academy and left to join Primera Nacional club Independiente Rivadavia after his contract expired on 30 November 2022.[1][2] He made his debut on 10 February 2023, coming on as a substitute in second half added time for Luciano Abecasis in a 2–1 win against Aldosivi.[3] Over the course of the season he established himself in the team and helped them to promotion.[4][5]

He started Independiente Rivadavia's first game back in the Liga Profesional, a 1–0 defeat to Independiente in the Copa de la Liga Profesional.[6] He scored his first goal for the club in a 1–0 win against Argentino de Quilmes on 27 March 2024.[7]

Rio Ave

On 26 August 2024, he moved abroad to Primeira Liga club Rio Ave.[8] He made his debut on 19 October in a Taça de Portugal game against Atlético CP, where he was injured but his side won 3–1.[9] Throughout his first season with the club, he struggled with injuries and thus received limited game time.[10] He scored his first goal for the club in the final game of the season, a 1–1 draw with Gil Vicente on 16 May 2025.[11]

He became more established in the 2025–26 season, occasionally captaining the side.[12]
