Alfonso Blanco Antunez (born July 31, 1987 in Tamiahua, Veracruz) is a Mexican soccer player. He is currently playing for Pachuca C.F..

[edit] Indios de Ciudad Juarez

Blanco began in Pachuca's youth division teams and then was transferred on loan for Indios de Ciudad Juarez in the 2007 Season after having a good performance during the U-20 World Cup in Canada in 2007.

Blanco arrived to Indios as one of the main bookings for the season but after 4 games and receiving 10 gaols he was relegated to the bench for the rest of the season. Indios managed to qualify for the Liguilla in Apertura 2007 and due to an injury from the goalie Joel Barba, Blanco returned to the first team and helped the team get to the finals.

Though he is yet to make his debut in the Primera División with Pachuca, there are already offers for Blanco from European clubs from Spain, Greece and Holland.
