Rafael 'Rafa' Antonio Ponzo García (born 18 October 1978) is a Venezuelan retired professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Born in Caracas, Ponzo left his country at the age of 20 and moved to Spain, where he played for the vast majority of his career, albeit almost exclusively in the lower leagues. His first stop was at Club Siero in the fourth division, and he went on to represent, also in that tier, Tenerife's reserves and Real Oviedo, achieving promotion to the third level with the latter in 2005.
With his next team, Girona, Ponzo achieved two consecutive promotions, making his Segunda División debut on 30 August 2008 in a 1–0 away win against Celta de Vigo[1] and appearing in 37 matches during the season to help the Catalans retain their league status after ranking 16th (44 goals conceded – three of those in a 3–0 loss at Hércules in the late stages in which he was held responsible for the outcome by his own manager Raül Agné).[2] He started 2009–10 back in division three with Ceuta,[3] but moved after a few months to Cyprus, where he played for two clubs in quick succession before returning to his homeland and join Mineros de Guayana.
On 7 July 2011, Ponzo signed with another side in the Spanish third division and Asturias, Marino de Luanco.[4] After two years back in his country with Aragua FC, he moved to UES.[5]
38-year-old Ponzo returned to Venezuela in the middle of 2017, signing with Segunda División's Angostura FC.[6]
Ponzo made two appearances for the Venezuela national team.[7]
