Paqui
Spanish footballer
Francisco Nicolás Veza Fragoso (born 6 December 1970), known as Paqui, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a left-back.
He represented six clubs in a 16-year senior career, mainly Tenerife and Las Palmas.
Club career
Paqui was born in Alicante, Province of Valencia. A FC Barcelona youth graduate (he only played for the Catalans' C and B teams as a senior, however) he went on to represent CD Tenerife, Real Zaragoza, Hércules CF and UD Las Palmas; he was instrumental in the latter's 2000 return to La Liga, and also had an unassuming spell at fellow top-flight club CA Osasuna in the 2002–03 season.
Paqui retired in June 2004 aged 33, after Las Palmas' relegation to Segunda División B. He totalled 221 matches and two goals in the top tier.
International career
Paqui was part of the Spain under-20 squad at the 1989 FIFA World Youth Championship in Saudi Arabia. He also helped the Olympic team to win the gold medal in 1992 in Barcelona.

Why this record matters
“Paqui” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Paqui, Spanish and footballer provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2313603. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1970, 2000, 2002 and 2004.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
