Club career

Born in Padilla in the Cauca Department of Colombia, Amaya began his career with Incauca, where in 2022 he scored 33 goals in 36 games, earning him a call up to the Colombia under-17 side.[1] These performances caught the eye of Categoría Primera A side Atlético Nacional, who would go on to sign Amaya the following year.[2] After first-choice striker Dorlan Pabón was diagnosed with a virus, Amaya was drafted in to replace him in the squad for a first division match against Águilas Doradas, and he made his debut in Atlético Nacional's 3–0 win, coming on as a late substitute for Daniel Mantilla.[2]

International career

Having been called up to Colombia's under-17 squad while at Incauca,[1] Amaya made his debut in a 2–0 win against Chile in August 2022.[3]
