Career

Cabrera, born in Cartagena, Colombia, and raised in Bogotá, made his professional debut at the age of 17 for Santa Fe.[1] His 18-year playing career[1] included stints at América de Cali (reaching the 1996 Copa Libertadores Final), Millonarios, Chicó, Independiente of Argentina, Herediano of Costa Rica and the Long Island Rough Riders of the United States.[2]

International career

Cabrera was capped 48 times and scored 3 international goals for Colombia between 1989 and 1998.[1][3] He was an unused substitute during the 1990 FIFA World Cup but played in all of the country's three matches in the 1998 FIFA World Cup.[4] He also played in four Copa América competitions in 1989, 1991, 1995 and 1997.

Coaching career

After retiring, Cabrera settled permanently in the United States to pursue work as a helicopter pilot in the New York area. He began working with the Major League Soccer front office as a community development manager working on Hispanic grassroots and youth programs. He also worked as an assistant coach for the Suffolk County Community College men's soccer team as well as top-ranked youth soccer club B.W. Gottschee, based in Queens, New York.[5]

Cabrera earned his United States Soccer Federation A Coaching License in 2005 and became an assistant coach with the United States men's national under-18 soccer team in 2007.[1] He was named by the USSF as head coach of the United States men's national under-17 soccer team on October 25, 2007, becoming the first Latin American head coach in the U.S. national team system.[4] On January 24, 2012, he was replaced in this role by Richie Williams.[5]

In January 2012, Cabrera was named assistant coach for the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer.[6]
