Fricio David Caicedo Jaramillo (born 17 April 2008) is an Ecuadorian footballer who currently plays as a centre-back for Inter Miami on loan from FC Moravia FCM, and the Ecuador national team.

Club career

Having not yet made his professional debut for LDU Quito, Caicedo drew attention from Belgian Pro League club Royal Antwerp.[2] In December 2025, it was reported in Ecuador that Caicedo had agreed to join the Belgian club in July 2026.[3][4]

Inter Miami CF

Caicedo came on loan from FC Moravia FCM in the 2026 MLS season, until the end of the 2027 MLS Sprint season.[5]

International career

After representing Ecuador at under-15, under-17 and under-20 level, Caicedo was called up to first team training by manager Sebastián Beccacece in May 2025.[6] In May 2026 he was called up to the full squad for the first time, alongside a number of fellow youth players, for the country's training camp in the United States ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[7] Caicedo made his international debut in Ecuador's 2–1 friendly win against Saudi Arabia on 30 May 2026, coming on as a late substitute for Pervis Estupiñán.[8]

Style of play

A left-footed centre-back, also capable of playing at left full-back, Caicedo's height makes him a strong aerial presence.[2]

Personal life

Caicedo's brother is fellow footballer Fronny Caicedo, who currently plays for Royal Antwerp.[2]
