Club career
editLozano was born in Cali. During his career he played for América de Cali, Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras (Brazil), Club América (Mexico), Real Valladolid and RCD Mallorca (Spain),[1] retiring in 2004 after a stint with C.F. Pachuca (Mexico).[2] Whilst at Mallorca, he helped them win the 2003 edition of the Copa del Rey.[3]
While at the service of Valladolid, during a 29 September 2001 away match against Real Madrid which finished 2–2, opposing players blamed Lozano for whistling during a free kick, causing them to believe that the referee had blown the whistle and with the visitors profiting from the situation to score. He denied responsibility, saying it could have been any of the 90,000 spectators attending the game.[4][2]
International career
editLozano won 48 caps for Colombia over a ten-year span,[5] and was a participant at the 1994 and at 1998 FIFA World Cups.[2] He also represented the nation in three editions of the Copa América: 1993, 1995 and 1999.[6][7][8]
