Cristian Tovar (born 6 May 1998) is a Colombian footballer who plays as a defender for Sheriff Tiraspol.

Career

Born in Villavicencio, he made his Categoría Primera A debut for Deportes Tolima in 2017. He also represented Colombia U17 at the 2015 South American U-17 Championship. [1] [2] He also trained with Colombia U20. [3] He later played over 100 games for Deportivo Pasto between 2019 and 2023. [1]

Establishing himself as a regular in Deportivo Pasto, Tovar was called up to a Colombia national team training microcycle. This also earned him a move to Europe, striking a deal with FC Sheriff Tiraspol. Deportivo Pasto also earned money from a summer 2023 transfer, as opposed to a winter 2024 transfer when Tovar would have been out of contract. [4] [5]

He played 19 games, scoring once, during the 2023–24 Moldovan Super Liga and also scored once for Sheriff in the 2023–24 UEFA Europa League group stage. [1] In 2024 he was loaned out to FC Ordabasy of Kazakhstan. Following 9 games across all competitions, and one assist, the loan at Ordabasy was not renewed. [6]
