Andrés Túñez
footballer
Andrés José Túñez Arceo (Latin American Spanish: [anˈdɾes ˈtuɲes]; born 15 March 1987) is a Venezuelan former professional footballer who played as a central defender.
He spent the better part of his 17-year career with Celta and Buriram United, winning several titles with the latter club including four Thai League 1 championships.

Early years
Túñez was born in Caracas, Venezuela to José "Pepe" Túñez and Margarita Arceo, a family of Spanish immigrants from Galicia. Aged 7, his family would return to their hometown of Bertamirans, Ames.
Club career
Túñez began playing football at Colegio La Salle primary school, in the nearby city of Santiago de Compostela. Three years later, he joined the Escuela de Fútbol de Rosalia de Castro academy. After a two-year spell at SD Compostela, he moved to neighbouring RC Celta de Vigo to complete his development.
In February 2010, following Jordi Figueras's transfer to FC Rubin Kazan, Túñez was promoted to the first team. He had spent nearly four seasons with the reserves in the Segunda División B, and finished that campaign with 16 league appearances with the main squad, which competed in the Segunda División.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Andrés Túñez” as footballer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as footballer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1320960. The first chronological checks are 1987 and 2010.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
