Adolfo Canette, a renowned Paraguayan footballer, began his career at General Caballero from Zeballos Cue. Driven by ambition, he later joined Guarani in Asuncion, initially playing for the youth team before making his senior debut against Sportivo Luqueno in a 1-0 victory.

His exceptional performances captivated fans, leading to businessman Epifanio Rojas covering his medical expenses.

His outstanding performances caught the attention of Ferrocarril Oeste in Argentina, where he reached the pinnacle of his career by winning the Argentine championship in 1982 and 1984. Wearing the iconic number 10 jersey for both his clubs and the national team, Canette established himself as one of Paraguay's finest midfielders.
