Federico Versaci (born 16 February 2002) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as an right winger for Defensa y Justicia.[3]

Club career

Versaci joined the Vélez Sarsfield academy at the age of five.[4] He remained there for the entirety of his youth career, eventually making the move into senior football towards the end of 2020 under manager Mauricio Pellegrino.[3] In November, he made the substitute's bench for a Copa Sudamericana win over Deportivo Cali and a Copa de la Liga Profesional defeat to Gimnasia y Esgrima; both at home.[3] Versaci's professional debut soon arrived on 5 December in a fixture away to Patronato in the latter competition, as the player replaced Mauro Pittón with ten minutes remaining of a goalless draw.[3]

On 8 July 2022, Versaci moved to Defensa y Justicia.[5]

International career

Versaci represented Argentina at the 2017 South American U-15 Championship on home soil.[4][6] He scored once, a penalty against Colombia, as they won the trophy.[4][7][8] In March 2018, Versaci received a call-up from the U17s for a friendly with Huracán.[4] He played in the match, though departed prematurely after suffering a ligament injury; which kept him out of action for almost a year.[4] Further U17 calls arrived in 2019.[9][10]
