Edoardo Colombo (born 24 January 2001) is an Italian-born Sanmarinese professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Serie D club Forlì and the San Marino national team.
Club career
[edit]Born in Ravenna, Colombo began his career at the youth academy of Cesena. In 2017, Colombo moved to Serie A side Juventus and joined their youth side.[1] In 2018, Colombo went on loan to Carpi and in 2019 went on loan to Serie D side Torres 1903.[1] During his time with Torres 1903, Colombo played in 25 matches.[2]
On 18 August 2020, Colombo joined Serie C side Legnago Salus on loan.[2] On 26 September 2020, he made his professional debut for the club against Vis Pesaro. He started as the match ended in a 2–2 draw.[3]
On 13 January 2021, he moved to fellow Serie C club Fermana on a permanent basis.[4] Having mainly served as the second-choice keeper behind Samuele Massolo, Colombo played his first and only game for Fermana on 2 May 2021, starting the match against his former club Legnago Salus as it ended in a 3-1 win for the latter team.
On 30 July 2021, Colombo permanently joined Arezzo, which had just got relegated to Serie D.[5] He subsequently played his first match for the Tuscan side on 12 September, starting the match against Foligno in the preliminary round of the Coppa Italia Serie D: just moments before half-time, Colombo blocked a penalty from opponent striker Maurizio Peluso, who then slotted the rebound in the back of the net, scoring what would eventually be the only goal of the game.[6]
On 19 July 2023, Colombo signed a one-year contract with Rimini.[7]
On 21 November 2024, Colombo joined Serie D club Forlì.[8]
International career
[edit]Despite being born in Italy, Colombo has represented San Marino internationally.
On 17 November 2018, he made his debut for the national under-19 team against Scotland: he started the match, but couldn't prevent his side from a 5–0 defeat.[9]
In August 2021, Colombo received his first call-up to the San Marino under-21 squad,[10] and he subsequently made his debut on 2 September, starting the home match against Germany as his side eventually lost 6-0.[11]
Colombo received his first senior team cap in a friendly against Saint Kitts and Nevis on 20 March 2024.[12]
