Fernando Uribe Hincapié (born 1 January 1988) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Deportivo Pereira.

Club career

=Early career=

Born in Pereira, Uribe was an Atlético Huila youth graduate. On 24 April 2003, he scored his first professional goal by netting the opener in a 2–2 Categoría Primera A away draw against Cortuluá; aged just 15 years, 3 months and 23 days, he became the youngest player ever to score a goal in Colombian professional football.{{cite web|url=https://www.eltiempo.com/archivo/documento/MAM-962015|title=Tuluá y Huila empatan con récord|trans-title=Tuluá and Huila draw with record|publisher=El Tiempo|language=es|date=24 April 2003|access-date=17 January 2019}}

Regularly used during his debut season, Uribe failed to appear in the following two campaigns, and moved to Categoría Primera B side Girardot in December 2005. After two years being sparingly used, he subsequently moved to fellow second division club Cortuluá; his only goal for the latter club came on 25 August 2008, when he scored the only goal of a home defeat of Unión Magdalena.{{cite web|url=https://www.colombia.com/futbol/autonoticias/Noticias/2008/08/25/DetalleNoticia43243.asp|title=Expreso Rojo y Barranquilla encabezan los Nonagonales de la Primera B|trans-title=Expreso Rojo and Barranquilla head the Nonogonals of Primera B|publisher=Colombia.com|language=es|date=25 August 2008|access-date=17 January 2019}}

Uribe returned to the top tier in 2009, playing with Deportivo Pereira. After spending the first half of the campaign without scoring, he netted eight times during the Clausura tournament, helping his side reach the semifinals; highlights included a hat-trick in a 4–1 home routing of Once Caldas on 13 September.{{cite web|url=https://www.colombia.com/futbol/autonoticias/Noticias/2009/09/13/DetalleNoticia47743.asp|title=Deportivo Pereira 4 Once Caldas 1: Goles restan descenso|trans-title=Deportivo Pereira 4 Once Caldas 1: Goals against relegation|publisher=Colombia.com|language=es|date=13 September 2009|access-date=17 January 2019}}

In January 2010, Uribe joined Once Caldas after impressing with Pereira.{{cite web|url=https://www.semana.com/deportes/articulo/que-trae-campeonato-futbol-2010/112512-3|title=Qué trae el campeonato de fútbol 2010|trans-title=What brings the 2010 championship|publisher=Semana|language=es|date=30 January 2010|access-date=17 January 2019}} On his debut for the club on 31 January, he scored a hat-trick in a 4–3 away loss against Real Cartagena.{{cite web|url=https://www.colombia.com/futbol/autonoticias/Noticias/2010/01/31/DetalleNoticia49394.asp|title=Real Cartagena 4 Once Caldas 3: Real Sociedad|publisher=Colombia.com|language=es|date=31 January 2010|access-date=17 January 2019}}

Uribe scored a career-best 24 league goals during the year, also scoring three times in a 5–3 loss at Deportivo Cali{{cite web|url=https://www.colombia.com/futbol/Noticias/20100905/52169/deportivo-cali-5-once-caldas-3-azuquita-pa-l-cafe|title=Deportivo Cali 5 Once Caldas 3: Azuquita pa'l Café|publisher=Colombia.com|language=es|date=5 September 2010|access-date=17 January 2019}} and in a 3–1 home defeat of América de Cali.

=Chievo=

On 20 January 2011, Uribe moved abroad for the first time in his career, agreeing to a four-year contract with Serie A club ChievoVerona.{{cite web|url=https://www.calciomercato.com/news/chievo-arriva-uribe-lecce-corvia-per-granoche-656044|title=Chievo, arriva Uribe: Lecce, Corvia per Granoche|trans-title=Chievo, Uribe arrives: Lecce, Corvia for Granoce|publisher=Calciomercato|language=it|date=20 January 2011|access-date=17 January 2019}} He made his debut abroad on 6 March, coming on as a late substitute for Davide Mandelli in a 0–0 home draw against Parma.

Uribe scored his first goal abroad on 9 May 2011, netting the opener in a 2–2 away draw against Juventus.{{cite web|url=https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/SerieA/Juventus/09-05-2011/juventus-801133145849.shtml|title=Juventus, altra figuraccia 2–2 col Chievo, addio Champions|trans-title=Juventus, another flop 2–2 with Chievo, goodbye Champions|publisher=La Gazzetta dello Sport|language=it|date=9 May 2011|access-date=17 January 2019}} He also scored a brace in a 3–0 success over Modena.{{cite web|url=https://www.football-italia.net/node/13131|title=Bologna and Chievo win in Coppa|publisher=Football Italia|date=23 November 2011|access-date=17 January 2019}}

On 23 July 2012, Uribe returned to his homeland and signed a four-year deal with Atlético Nacional.{{cite web|url=https://www.football-italia.net/21467/chievo-verona-sell-uribe|title=Chievo Verona sell Uribe|publisher=Football Italia|date=23 July 2012|access-date=17 January 2019}} He scored in only his second match for the club, a 1–1 home draw against Rionegro on 6 August, and scored a brace in a 2–0 home success over against La Equidad on 9 December.

==Millonarios (loan)==

On 27 June 2014, Uribe was presented at Millonarios, on loan for one year with a buyout clause.{{cite web|url=https://www.winsports.co/futbol-colombiano/noticias/fernando-uribe-fue-presentado-como-nuevo-jugador-de-millonarios-30011|title=Fernando Uribe fue presentado como nuevo jugador de Millonarios|trans-title=Fernando Uribe was presented as new manager of Millonarios|publisher=Win Sports|language=es|date=27 June 2014|access-date=17 January 2019}} On 28 September, he scored four times in a 4–0 home routing of Fortaleza FC.{{cite web|url=http://espndeportes.espn.com/noticias/nota/_/id/2191339/fernando-uribe-marco-cuatro-goles-por-primera-vez-en-su-carrera|title=Fernando Uribe marcó cuatro goles por primera vez en su carrera|trans-title=Fernando Uribe scored four goals for the first time in his career|publisher=ESPN Deportes|language=es|date=29 September 2014|access-date=17 January 2019}}

On 17 May 2015, Uribe scored the equalizer in a 3–1 win against Independiente Santa Fe, helping his team qualify to the tournament's semifinals. Four days later, in the first leg of the quarterfinals, he scored a hat-trick in a 4–0 win over Envigado, as his side advanced with a 6–3 aggregate score. In the semifinals, he scored a brace in a 3–2 away defeat of Deportivo Cali, but his side was knocked out in the shoot-outs.

=Toluca=

On 23 June 2015, Liga MX team Toluca officially announced Uribe as their new striker, in a three-year contract.{{cite web|url=http://www.tolucafc.com/noticia/23-06-2015/uribe-primer-refuerzo-extranjero|title=Uribe, primer refuerzo extranjero|trans-title=Uribe, first foreign signing|publisher=Deportivo Toluca|language=es|date=23 June 2015|access-date=17 January 2019}} He made his debut on 25 July, in a 1–0 away win against Tigres UANL.

On 29 July 2015, Uribe scored his first hat-trick in the first game of the Copa MX, a 4–2 win against Necaxa. On 13 September, Uribe scored four goals in a 4–3 success over Pachuca.

=Flamengo=

On 26 June 2018 Uribe signed a four-year contract with Série A club Flamengo.{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.com.br/futebol/artigo/_/id/4469223/flamengo-anuncia-a-contratacao-do-colombiano-fernando-uribe|title=Flamengo anuncia a contratação do colombiano Fernando Uribe|trans-title=Flamengo announce the signing of Colombian Fernando Uribe|publisher=ESPN Brasil|language=pt-BR|date=26 June 2018|access-date=4 July 2018}} He made his debut for the club on 19 July, replacing Marlos Moreno on the 62nd minute of a 1-0 loss to São Paulo at the Maracanã Stadium.

On 29 July 2018, Uribe scored his first goal for the club, in a 4–1 routing of Sport Recife also at the Maracanã. In the following campaign, however, he lost space after the arrivals of Gabriel and Bruno Henrique.

=Santos=

On 30 May 2019, Uribe moved to fellow top tier club Santos, signing a contract until December 2022.{{cite web|url=https://www.santosfc.com.br/atacante-fernando-uribe-e-o-novo-reforco-do-santos-fc-para-2019/|title=Atacante Fernando Uribe é o novo reforço do Santos FC para 2019|trans-title=Forward Fernando Uribe is the new addition of Santos FC for 2019|publisher=Santos FC|language=pt-BR|date=30 May 2019|access-date=30 May 2019}} He made his debut for the club three days later, starting in a 1–0 away defeat of Ceará.

On 18 September 2020, after 16 goalless appearances, Uribe left Santos after being released from his contract by the Brazilian Football Confederation; the entity, however, denied the appeal for just cause, and also allowed Santos to ask for a compensation fee if Uribe signs for another club.{{cite web|url=https://globoesporte.globo.com/sp/santos-e-regiao/futebol/times/santos/noticia/noticias-santos-uribe-cbf-justa-causa-contrato.ghtml|title=CBF libera Uribe de contrato com o Santos, mas nega justa causa; entenda o caso|trans-title=CBF release Uribe from contract with Santos, but deny just cause; understand the case|publisher=Globo Esporte|language=pt-BR|date=18 September 2020|access-date=20 September 2020}}
