Cristian Valencia (born 4 December 1991) is a Colombian footballer who plays as a defender for Llaneros in Primera B.[1]
On 25 October 2021, he extended his contract with SJK.[2] On 22 April 2022, the discipline committee of Finnish FA sanctioned Valencia for a four-game ban, due to violent behaviour on Fabian Serrarens in a match against HJK on 8 April 2022. Valencia punched Serrarens in the stomach during the game.[3] His contract with SJK was terminated on 31 May 2022.[4]
On 23 June 2022, Valencia signed a contract with AC Oulu, still in Finland, until the end of 2023, with an option for 2024.[5] However, for personal reasons, his arrival to Oulu was delayed until the beginning of the 2023 season. After the season, it was announced that the club will not exercise their option and Valencia will leave AC Oulu.[6]
On 26 November 2023, Valencia was introduced as a new VPS player, signing a two-year deal with an option for an additional year.[7] [8] However, he terminated his contract on 16 February 2024 for personal reasons, without making a single appearance for the club.[9]
