Hazleydi Yoreli Rincón Torres (born 27 July 1993) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Colombian club Atlético Nacional and the Colombia women's national team. She previously played professional football for clubs in Brazil, Sweden and the United States. Rincón debuted for the Colombia women's national football team in 2010 and was included in the national team for the 2012 London Olympics,[3] as well as the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2011 and 2015.

Early life

[edit]

Born in Piedecuesta,[4] Rincón began playing football in the Colombian league at age 12,[5] winning the national league with Tolima in 2007. She made a verbal commitment to join Indiana University to play collegiate soccer beginning in 2011,[6] but backed out to embark on a professional career.[7]

Club career

[edit]

At age 18, Rincón signed a one-year contract with Campeonato Paulista de Futebol Feminino club XV de Piracicaba after being recommended by fellow Colombian footballer Freddy Rincón.[8]

In January 2013 Rincón made a transfer to Swedish Damallsvenskan team LdB FC Malmö.[9] With Malmö she started two of 12 appearances in 2013 and scored once, against Piteå IF, as the club recaptured their league title. After that first season Rincón was released by Malmö, for economic reasons.[10]

Rincón was invited to Western New York Flash's preseason training camp in March 2014.[11] She joined New Jersey Wildcats of the W-League for the 2014 season. Rincón intended to gain experience, adapt to the American style of soccer and ultimately win a move to the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).[12]

Rincón competed at the 2019 WAFF Women's Clubs Championship for Bahraini club Riffa SC, scoring twice in four matches.

International career

[edit]

Rincón has played as a midfielder for the Colombia women's national football team, scoring five goals as Colombia finished as runners-up in the 2010 Sudamericano Femenino and helping her team qualify for its first ever FIFA Women's World Cup finals.[13] She also played for Colombia at the 2008 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup and 2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup finals.[14]

She was also named in the Colombian squad for the 2012 Olympics. Colombia were beaten in all three group matches as the team's coach controversially omitted Rincón, accusing her of arriving at the tournament in poor condition.[15] Rincón played at her second FIFA Women's World Cup in 2015. In July 2016, team captain Rincón, "widely considered Colombia's best player", broke her leg and was ruled out of the 2016 Olympics.[16]

Personal life

[edit]

Rincón is bisexual. She was in a relationship with a man called Alejandro González,[17] but is now dating Venezuelan female footballer Jaylis Oliveros.[18]
