As a child, Caicedo played football "in rich boy" neighborhoods, bet money and always won.[1] At the age of 15, he had an unsuccessful trial with Santos, one of the most successful teams in Brazil.[1] He has been compared to Ecuador international Felipe Caicedo.[2]

International career

He made his debut for Ecuador national team on 4 June 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Brazil. He substituted Enner Valencia in the 76th minute.[3]

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.[4] Caicedo scored his first goal for the senior national team on March 25, 2022, converting a penalty against Paraguay during a 3-1 loss in 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification.[5]
