Francisco “Paco” Alcácer García was born on August 30, 1993, in Torrent, Valencian Community, Spain. He began his youth career at CD Monte-Sión Torrent and Torrent CF before joining Valencia CF’s youth system at the age of 12. Alcácer quickly progressed through the ranks, making his senior debut for Valencia B in the 2009–10 season at just 16 years old. He scored three goals in 15 games in his first senior season and contributed significantly to Valencia B’s return to the third tier, netting 27 goals in 25 appearances during the 2010–11 Tercera División season. His early career was marked by consistent goal-scoring at the youth and reserve levels, showcasing his potential as a forward.
Alcácer’s professional career saw him make his first-team debut for Valencia in the Copa del Rey in 2010. After a loan spell at Getafe CF in the 2012–13 season, where he scored four goals in total, he returned to Valencia and became a regular fixture, accumulating 43 goals in 118 matches across all competitions. A significant career move occurred in 2016 when he joined FC Barcelona for a reported €30 million. During his time at Barcelona, he contributed to two Copa del Rey victories and the 2017–18 La Liga title. He then moved to Borussia Dortmund, initially on loan in 2018, before making the move permanent in 2019. In Germany, Alcácer achieved a new Bundesliga record for most goals scored by a substitute in a single season and won the DFL-Supercup in 2019.
His career continued with a return to Spain, joining Villarreal CF in January 2020 as the club’s most expensive signing. With Villarreal, he was part of the squad that won the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League, scoring six goals in the competition and converting a penalty in the final’s shootout. In 2022, Alcácer moved to UAE Pro League club Sharjah FC, initially on loan, which was later converted into a permanent deal. He further added to his trophy collection by winning the UAE President’s Cup in 2021–22 and 2022–23, and the UAE Super Cup in 2022 with Sharjah. He was later loaned to Emirates Club in 2023. Alcácer has also represented Spain internationally, making his senior debut in 2014 and scoring 12 goals in 19 appearances.
