Vicente Locaso (12 January 1909 – 4 April 1994) was an Argentine footballer who served as a forward.
He debuted for Club Atlético River Plate on August 26, 1928, against Sportivo Barracas in a 2–1 victory.[1] It was Locaso who scored the first goal when the club turned professional in 1931 in a 1–0 victory against Atlanta.[1] In a close game, in the 18th minute of the first half, Locaso took the ball near the area, after a couple of rebounds, and finished a cross, beating Mascheroni.[2] At the end of the 1931–32 season he played his last competitive match in a loss to Boca Juniors 0–3, on January 6 of 1932 . He then joined Huracán and the following season joined Gimnasia de La Plata, but injury prevented him from playing, forcing him to retire.[2]
