Club career

Born in Concepción, Paraguay, Godoy began his career with Atlético Tembetary, before moving to Spain in 2008 to sign for Espanyol.[3] After his release in July 2012, he attracted offers from numerous Spanish sides, and was close to signing with Málaga, but ultimately decided to join Barcelona.[3] While at Barcelona, he trained with the first team on numerous occasions.[4]

His contract with Barcelona expired on 30 June 2014, and a month later he returned to Paraguay to sign for Olimpia.[5][6][7] After two appearances for Olimpia, he was loaned to Rubio Ñu in 2015.[8]

After leaving Olimpia, Godoy played for Tacuary FBC and Atlético Colegiales, and was playing at Nanawa in Concepción in 2019.[9] He also featured for 29 de Setiembre in 2019.[10]

By 2021, he was playing for 12 de Octubre.[11]

International career

Godoy was called up to the Paraguay national under-20 football team in June 2014.[12]

Style of play

Standing at 1.66 m, Godoy drew comparisons with Argentine Sergio Agüero for his explosiveness in tight spaces and shooting ability.[13][14]
