Sebastián David Girado Díaz (born 11 August 2004) is a Colombian footballer who currently plays as a forward for Portuguese Primeira Liga side Famalicão, on loan from Real Cartagena.

Club career

Born in Cartagena, in the Bolívar Department of Colombia, Girado first came to prominence for his performances in the under-15 interclub league, where he finished top scorer with twenty-six goals for Medellín-based club Belén la Nubia Arco Zaragoza. These goal-scoring feats earned him a call up to the Colombia under-15 team for the 2019 South American U-15 Championship, and following the tournament, he joined Categoría Primera B side Real Cartagena.

Having made his debut for Real Cartagena in February 2020, he began to be linked with a number of clubs in Europe, including Manchester City, Manchester United and Porto. He continued to impress with his performances the following season, and he established himself as a goal-scorer in the second division, most notably scoring two goals in a 3–3 away draw with Orsomarso.

Girado started the 2023 season with Real Cartagena, but in July of the same year, the club's technical director, Martín Cardetti, stated that he would be leaving the team, and joining a club in Portugal. Days later, it was announced that this unnamed club was Famalicão, and that Girado had joined on an initial one-year loan deal with a purchase option.

International career

Girado has represented Colombia at under-15, under-16 and under-20 level.
