Alan Steve Minda García (born 14 May 2003) is an Ecuadorian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Belgian Pro League club Cercle Brugge and the Ecuador national team.

Club career

Independiente del Valle

Born in Esmeraldas, Minda joined Independiente del Valle's youth setup in 2016, from El Nacional.[1] After making his senior debut with the reserve team Independiente Juniors in the 2020 Ecuadorian Serie B, he made his debut with the main squad on 22 May 2021, coming on as a second-half substitute for José Hurtado in a 3–0 Ecuadorian Serie A home win over Guayaquil City.[2]

Minda scored his first professional goal on 1 August 2021, netting his team's third in a 4–0 home routing of Macará.[3] After featuring regularly, he suffered a serious knee injury in December,[4] being sidelined for several months of the 2022 season.

On 18 April 2023, on his Copa Libertadores debut, Minda scored IDV's second in a 2–0 win over Liverpool Montevideo; by doing so, he became the quickest to score for the club after coming on a substitute in the tournament's history.[5]

Cercle Brugge

On 12 July 2023, Belgian club Cercle Brugge announced the signing of Minda on a five-year contract,[6] for a reported fee of around €2 million.[7]

International career

Minda made his debut for the Ecuador national under-20 team in November 2022, in two friendlies against Colombia. He was also included in the side's squads for the 2023 South American U-20 Championship[8] and the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[9]

Minda made his debut for the senior Ecuador national team on 22 March 2024 in a friendly against Guatemala.[10]
