The football world mourns the tragic loss of 18-year-old Argentine midfielder Camilo Nuin, who passed away during knee surgery.

The football community is in shock following the tragic death of 18-year-old Argentine midfielder Camilo Nuin during knee surgery. Nuin, who had been with second division side San Telmo since 2022, previously honed his skills at the youth academies of Boca Juniors and Independiente.

San Telmo announced the heartbreaking news with a statement: "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. The club will remain closed today as a sign of mourning. We join his family, friends, and team-mates in this difficult time and remain at their disposal for anything they may need."

The cause of death has not yet been disclosed, leaving many questions unanswered. The Argentine Football Association also expressed its condolences, with president Claudio Tapia and the executive committee extending their sympathies to Nuin's family.

This incident has cast a shadow over the football world, reminding us of the fragility of life even in the midst of athletic pursuits. Our thoughts are with Nuin's loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
