Career edit

Huracán gave Chacón his professional debut in Primera B Nacional on 12 May 2012 versus Patronato, having previously selected him as a substitute for two games in the past season's Argentine Primera División.[1] He remained with Huracán for three seasons and made a total of eight appearances.[1][3] On 11 September 2014, Chacón joined Ermionida of the Greek Football League.[1][4] Twenty-eight appearances, the last of which came against Episkopi on 14 June, followed during 2014–15 as Ermionida were relegated.[1][5] August 2015 saw Chacón sign for Uruguay's Villa Teresa.[1] His first appearance was against El Tanque Sisley on 19 September.[1]

Like with Ermionida, the one campaign spent with Villa Teresa, the 2015–16 Uruguayan Primera División season, ended with relegation.[1] On 30 June 2016, Chacón joined Argentine Primera División side San Martín.[1][6][7] Two years later, following just three matches for San Martín, Chacón agreed to join Santamarina of Primera B Nacional.[1] He appeared just once for the club, featuring for the final thirty minutes of a goalless draw with Arsenal de Sarandí on 1 September 2018.[1] He left at the end of the year.[8] In January 2020, Chacón joined Welsh Cymru North club Bangor City.[9] He netted goals against Corwen and Conwy Borough.[10][11]

On 24 July 2020, Chacón signed a two-year contract with Sambenedettese of Italy's Serie C.[12] His first appearance came in a Coppa Italia first round loss to Alessandria on 23 September.[1]

On 16 September 2021, he moved to FBC Gravina in Serie D.[13] He left the club at the end of the 2022–23 season. In November 2023, Chacón signed with fellow league club Bitonto.[14]
