Interest in Caicedo from Royal Antwerp began in December 2025, with reports indicating that he had agreed to terms with the club in July 2026.
Caicedo has represented Ecuador at various youth levels, including under-15, under-17, and under-20 teams. In May 2025, he received an invitation to train with the senior squad from manager Sebastián Beccacece.
He earned his first call-up to the national team in May 2026 for a training camp in the United States ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Caicedo made his international debut during Ecuador’s 2–1 friendly victory against Saudi Arabia on May 30, 2026, replacing Pervis Estupiñán late in the match.
