Iván Córdoba

Iván Ramiro Córdoba (born August 11, 1976 in Medellín) is a Colombian international football (soccer) player. He made his name playing for Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro in Primera División Argentina but signed for Serie A side Internazionale Milano F.C. in the winter transfer window, January 2000, costing the club 16 million Euros, rejecting another offer from Real Madrid in doing so.

Naturally a central defender (football) and world rated man-marker, he is athletic and relies mostly on his pace and reliable timing, being only 173 cm tall and thus vulnerable in the air. Cordoba is also a versatile defender. He sometimes plays as right back and has even filled the left back position.

He captained the Colombia national football team to win the competition, scoring the only goal in the final. Cordoba also played for his country in the 1998 FIFA World Cup.

He has his own charity organisation called "Colombia Te Quiere Ver Association".
