Camilo Nuin, an 18-year-old player for Argentina's San Telmo, died on Wednesday during knee surgery, the second-division club confirmed.
"It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Camilo Ernesto Nuin, a player in our Youth and Reserve Divisions, who was undergoing surgery today," San Telmo said on its official X account.
Nuin, a left-footed midfielder, joined San Telmo in 2022 after progressing through the youth academies of Argentine powerhouses Boca Juniors and Independiente.
Various Argentine football organizations, including the Argentine Football Association (AFA), have expressed their condolences.
"The Argentine Football Association, through its president Claudio Tapia and Executive Committee, expresses its sorrow at the death of Camilo Nuin and extends its condolences to the player's family," the AFA said.
