Linda Lizeth Caicedo Alegría (born 25 February 2005) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Liga F club Real Madrid and the Colombia women's national team. Caicedo has been playing at the senior club level since 2019, when she debuted for Colombian club América de Cali at the age of 14. After being instrumental in América winning their first league title, she moved to Deportivo Cali in early 2020. With Cali, Caicedo won an additional Colombian league title in 2021, which qualified Cali for the 2021 Copa Libertadores Femenina. Despite only making the quarterfinals, Caicedo finished the tournament as joint-top scorer and made the tournament's Best XI. In 2023, after years of speculation about her next club move, she signed for Real Madrid in Spain's Liga F. In her first season at the club, she helped Madrid reach their first major cup final at the 2022–23 Copa de la Reina. In addition to her accomplishments at the club level, Caicedo has also found international success at both the youth and senior levels. In July 2022, Caicedo featured in her first Copa America Femenina tournament with Colombia's senior team, where she scored the game-winning goal against Argentina in the semi-finals to help her team qualify for the Copa America final. After finishing as runner-up with Colombia's senior team in the Copa America, Caicedo competed with Colombia's U-20s at the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in August, where they reached the quarterfinals. In October of the same year, Caicedo helped Colombia's U-17 side to a second-place finish at the U-17 Women's World Cup. She scored 4 goals and was Colombia's top scorer as they finished as runners-up behind Spain. Wikipedia text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License - Full article
