Adolfo “El Tren” Valencia's career reveals a series of great memories. His soccer career allowed him to travel the world and pave new roads for his compatriots far away from Colombia. He played in two World Cups and scored the fifth goal in that historic 5-0 win for Colombia’s National Team at El Monumental in Buenos Aires.
In the 1993-1994 season, Valencia won the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich, becoming the first Colombian player to achieve it. During his time in Munich, Valencia scored 11 goals.
The decision to come to the MetroStars was made while he played for Greek side PAOK FC.
