Basketball career


Campana started his career with Redes Cordobesas at the Córdoba Province local league in 1976.[2] He subsequently joined Buenos Aires side Obras Sanitarias in 1982, and debuted with the club in the Liga Nacional de Básquet (Argentine first division) in 1984, the year of the league's inception. During his 28-year-long career, he played exclusively in Argentina. The shooting guard had 4 spells at Córdoba's biggest team, Atenas, club where he retired in 2004 with 39 years of age.[3]


Campana was 3 times the Argentine League Final's MVP,[3] twice with Atenas (1987 and 1991–92), and one with Gimnasia y Esgrima y Pedernera Unidos (GEPU) (1990–91). He was also selected as the league's overall MVP 4 times,[4] 2 with River Plate (1989 and 1990), one with GEPU (1990–91), and one with Atenas (1998–99). The four league MVP selections is an Argentine league record he shares with Leonardo Gutiérrez. He was also the league's lead scorer for four consecutive seasons (from 1989 to 1991–92).[5] Moreover, his 7 Argentine league championships are tied with Marcelo Milanesio for 2nd most ever, behind only Leonardo Gutiérrez's 10.[4]



Personal life


Campana's daughter was diagnosed with a heart condition while she was still in utero.[3] She therefore had to go through 11 cardiac procedures since she was born. As a consequence, Campana founded the Fundación Corazoncito (in English: Little Heart Foundation) that helps building hospital infrastructures and training Cordobese medics abroad.[3]
