 BIOGRAPHY OF RADAMEL FALCAO
Radamel Falcao García is the son of Radamel García, former central defender of

began to emerge in football and in baseball. During his stay in Venezuela, baseball
would become his passion. In El Vigía he played in children's categories trying to imitate
the steps of two of his models in the small ball, shortstop Omar Vizquel and Ozzie
Guillén. However, when the García family returned to Colombia, Radamel dedicated
himself to soccer, participating in children's and youth tournaments where he
demonstrated his extraordinary conditions as an attacking striker that would take him
to Argentina and Europe.

evangelical church he attended in Buenos Aires. On August 13, 2013, his daughter
Dominique García Tarón was born at the Princess Grace Hospital in La Colle, Monaco.
