Sebastián Villa has confirmed the end of his time at Independiente Rivadavia. After his controversial departure from Boca Juniors and a brief stint in Bulgaria, the club from Mendoza opened its doors to him, where the Colombian became a key player and captain, crowning his spell with the historic conquest of the Copa Argentina, the institution’s first official title.

The winger, who arrived in July 2024, played 60 matches, scoring 10 goals and providing 16 assists.

"Stages that come to an end"

The 29-year-old player left on the night of Tuesday, November 25, heading to Medellín. Before traveling, he gave an interview to Radio Nihuil where he made his farewell official. "In life, there are stages that come to an end and today I thank God because I can have peace of mind, knowing that I gave everything for the club," Villa commented, leaving the details of his future in the hands of his agent and the president.

Villa assured that Mendoza has earned a special place in his heart: "I was coming from a very difficult moment in my life... I came to Independiente with a lot of hope and the desire to rise like a phoenix. Independiente Rivadavia is already in my heart."

The dream of the Colombian national team

Villa’s excellent form in Argentine football has reignited the debate about his possible return to the Colombian national team. The footballer’s ambition to wear the Tricolor remains intact. "I will keep working towards my goal of returning to the Colombian national team. I won’t rest until I achieve it," he stated.
