Jordy Josué Caicedo Medina (born 18 November 1997) is an Ecuadorian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Argentine club Huracán, on loan from Mexican club Atlas, and the Ecuador national team.

Club career

Caicedo started playing football recreationally from an early age; he has stated that he would play football "in rich boy neighborhoods, bet money and always won."[1] At the age of 15, he had an unsuccessful trial with Santos FC in Brazil.[1] He has been compared to Ecuador international Felipe Caicedo.[2] In February 2021, he joined Bulgarian club CSKA Sofia.[3] In July 2022, Caicedo relocated to Mexico, signing a contract with Tigres UANL.[4]

On 15 July 2024, Caicedo was loaned from Atlas to Spanish Segunda División side Sporting de Gijón, for one year.[5]

International career

Caicedo made his senior national team debut on 4 June 2021 in a World Cup qualifying match against Brazil. He substituted Enner Valencia in the 76th minute.[6]

Caicedo made his debut in a professional tournament later that month in the 2021 Copa América, coming on as a second half substitute in the opening match against Colombia.[7] Caicedo scored his first goal for the senior national team on 25 March 2022, converting a penalty in another World Cup qualifying match against Paraguay in a 3-1 loss.[8]

On 31 May 2026, Caicedo was selected in the 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[9]
