Club career edit
Born in Tumaco in the Nariño Department of Colombia, Caicedo began his career with local side Comfamiliar, before passing through another amateur team, Gambeta, and then professional side Bogotá.[2] He later joined the academy of Cali-based Cyclones, where his performances earned him a call-up to the Colombian under-17 side.[2][3]
In late June 2023, it was reported that Caicedo would join Portuguese side Porto, but only after spending two years with Leones in Colombia, as he was not yet eighteen.[4] On 11 October 2023, he was named by English newspaper The Guardian as one of the best players born in 2006 worldwide.[5]
International career edit
Caicedo was first called up to the Colombian under-17 side in 2022, playing in two friendlies against Ecuador.[2] His performances with the side, including four games at the 2023 South American U-17 Championship, reportedly caught the attention of more than twenty teams internationally, according to journalist Pipe Sierra.[6]
