السيرة الذاتية

Colombian teenage football sensation Linda Caicedo has already overcome immense challenges in her life and career. When she was just 15 years old, she received the devastating news that she had ovarian cancer.

Linda Caicedo's Courageous Battle Against Cancer

Before her cancer diagnosis, Caicedo had made her professional debut at 14 for America de Cali where she topped the league goalscoring charts. But after joining cross-city rivals Deportivo Cali, and earning her first senior international cap, she had to undergo treatment.

"I didn't think I could play professionally again because of all the treatments and surgeries I had to go through," Caicedo shared with FIFA.com. "Mentally, it was a very difficult moment in my life. I'm forever grateful that it happened when I was very young. I was able to recover, and I also had my family's support. And I feel very good now; what happened made me grow. I feel thankful and happy to be here."
