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.

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.

[7] As she advanced to the higher levels of Real Juanchito, Caicedo met the man that would later become her mentor, club president Rafael Murillo.

From 2017 to 2019, Caicedo won three Torneos Nacionales (national tournaments for regional youth clubs) at the U13 level with Atlas.

[6] In 2019, Carolina Pineda convinced Marcela Gómez, the president of América de Cali's women's team, to sign Caicedo.

[12] On 4 February 2020, Caicedo's move to América's cross-city rivals Deportivo Cali was made official with a year-long contract.

[26][27] Deportivo Cali won the first league title of their history as Caicedo finished as the team's second-highest goalscorer of the tournament with 5 goals.

Cali reaching the final meant that they qualified for the 2021 Copa Libertadores Femenina, Caicedo's first opportunity to play in a major continental club competition.

[32][33] The 2022 Colombian league updated to a round-robin tournament format, where Cali finished 3rd on the table and qualified for the knockout stage.

Caicedo was unable to play domestically with Deportivo Cali, as the DIMAYOR had cancelled the second half (clausura) of the 2022 Colombian women's league due to a lack of participating teams.

[39][40] She was additionally unable to compete with Cali at the 2022 Copa Libertadores due to her participation at the 2022 U-17 Women's World Cup, with both tournaments taking place during the month of October.

[42][43][44][45] On 21 February 2023, Spanish media confirmed rumors that Caicedo had joined Real Madrid ahead of Chelsea or rivals Barcelona.

[46] On 24 February 2023, after years of speculation around her next club,[47] she officially signed for Real Madrid of Spain's Liga F with a three-year contract.

[52] Caicedo started the 2023 Copa de la Reina final against the club's rivals Atlético Madrid, but was subbed out in the 82nd minute.

[57] In 2022, Caicedo was called up to play her first tournament with Colombia's senior national team, the 2022 Copa América Femenina.

[7][63] At the Women's World Cup, Caicedo scored a goal in Colombia's opening match against South Korea, which ended in a 2–0 victory.

[64] This made her the second youngest player, at 18 years and 153 days, to score in a World Cup, behind Brazilian legend Marta.

[66] Two days later, on 30 July, she scored the first goal in the second Group H match against Germany, with Colombia eventually winning 2–1 in one of the biggest Women's World Cup upsets of all time.

[77][78] After scoring against Germany at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, she dedicated her goal to her by putting her hands in a heart shape.
