Duvier Díaz Balanta (born 21 August 1994) is a Colombian former footballer who played as a defender.[2]
Club career
Born in the Buenos Aires in the Cauca Department,[3] Díaz was raised in the small town of Honduras, Cauca, and played locally before deciding to join an organised team at the age of seventeen.[4] He joined Dépor Aguablanca, where he stayed for two years, before a move to Mexico.[4] He initially joined Orizaba,[5] before a stint with Irapuato. He scored his first goal for Irapuato in a 1–0 win against Pachuca Premier in November 2015.[6]
After five years in Mexico, he trialled with América de Cali, but despite registering, he did not feature for the club.[4] In May 2018, he trialled with Ascenso MX club Celaya, and was involved in their pre-season preparation.[4][7] Having not featured in the Apertura 2018 due to injury,[8] he joined up with the first team for the Clausura 2019, and scored on his debut in a 1–0 win against Dorados de Sinaloa on 5 January 2019.[8][9]
After a break from football, Díaz returned to Colombia and joined Categoría Primera B club Boyacá Chicó.[3] He spent three seasons with the club, helping them achieve promotion to the Categoría Primera A, before leaving at the end of the 2023 season.
