Freddy Eusebio Rincón Valencia (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈfɾeði riŋˈkon]; born 14 August 1966 in Buenaventura, Valle del Cauca), is a retired Colombian footballer who played 84 games for the Colombia national team between 1990 and 2001. He played as a left, central or attacking midfielder.
Rincón began his career at Atlético Buenaventura in 1986. He also played for Independiente Santa Fé, América de Cali (Colombia), Napoli (Italy), Real Madrid (Spain), Palmeiras, Santos, and Corinthians (Brazil).
For América de Cali won the Colombian Championship in 1990 and 1992.
It was his combination with Faustino Asprilla in the 5-0 demolition of Argentina in the 1994 World Cup qualifying campaign that prompted Parma to sign the Colombian midfielder. However the three foreigner rule meant he was loaned out to Napoli, and was eventually sold onto Real Madrid.
Rincón spent the latter part of his career playing club football in Brazil where he played for Palmeiras, Corinthians, Santos and Cruzeiro. During his time with Corinthians the club won the Brazilian championship in 1998 and 1999 and the first FIFA Club World Cup in 2000, his greatest title.
