Early life

[edit]

Marcipar's parents, Javier and Muriel, were born in Santa Fe, Argentina, and emigrated to Spain in 1999, settling in the Province of Barcelona.[2] Marcipar was born on 13 February 2008, alongside his twin sister, Paula, in Barcelona.[3] Growing up, he supported Argentine Primera División side Unión de Santa Fe, as it was the club his parents supported.[4]

As a child, he also took an interest in chess, standing out at the age of five and participating in local tournaments against players three years his senior.[3][5]

Club career

[edit]

At the age of six, Marcipar joined local side Sant Cugat, based in Sant Cugat del Vallès, and spent three years before attracting the attention of La Liga side Barcelona.[2][3] He attended a three-month trial with the club at their La Masia academy, before being offered a place for the 2018–19 season in March 2018.[2]

International career

Marcipar is eligible to represent both Spain and Argentina at international level. He was called up to Argentina's under-15 team in July 2022.[6][7] He was called up to the squad again in 2024, ahead of the 2023 South American U-15 Championship, featuring in two friendly matches in preparation for the tournament.[8]
