Cristian Nazarith Truque (born 13 August 1990 in Cali) is a Colombian footballer who plays for Independiente Santa Fe.
He can play as creative/attacking midfielder. He was a starter in the Colombian under-17 team that made it to the quarter finals of the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup. He was Colombia's leading scorer during the qualifiers where Colombia finished 2nd and was the 2nd top scorer of the tournoment. Nazarith was rumored to be going to a European club after the 2007 U-17 World Cup (Udinese of Italy was the likeliest destination) but America de Cali decided to hold on to him to raise his value.
He is currently a starter and scored 2 goals in his first 3 games. Current national team coach Jorge Luis Pinto has put his eye on this young promising striker and invited him to the training camp in October 2007 to train with the Colombian national team that would start off qualifiers at home with Brazil.
