Jorelyn Carabalí

Orsomarso

Carabalí made her professional debut with Orsomarso in 2017.

Atlético Huila

Atlético Huila signed Carabalí as a centre-back for the 2018 season, shortly after she had captained Colombia on her under-20 debut. On 28 April 2018 she fractured her femur in training. It was the first serious injury of her career, and the first operation left her with a hip problem; she had four operations in all, spent eight months learning to walk again and was out of competition for roughly two and a half years. She later recalled being told that she would not play professionally again and might manage only amateur football, and said of the experience that it had taught her to know herself and to overcome adversity.

Deportivo Cali

Carabalí joined Deportivo Cali in 2020 after completing her recovery, and by the following season had become a regular in the side. Cali went through the 2021 Liga Femenina unbeaten, winning nine of its 14 matches and drawing the other five, and took the club's first women's league title by beating Independiente Santa Fe 6–3 on aggregate in the final: 4–1 at El Campín on 7 September and 2–2 at Palmaseca five days later. She made 34 league appearances and scored four goals across three seasons with the club.

Atlético Mineiro

In January 2023, Carabalí joined Brazilian club Atlético Mineiro, scoring three goals in ten Brasileirão appearances in her single season there.

Carabalí captained Colombia on her debut for the under-20 team, against Peru, shortly before the injury that interrupted her career. She made her senior debut on 18 January 2021 in a friendly defeat by the United States. On 3 July 2022, Nelson Abadía named Carabalí in the squad for the 2022 Copa América Femenina, held in Colombia. The team reached the final, losing 1–0 to Brazil; Carabalí later said the run had shown both the depth of Colombian talent coming through and that she could play at that level. Called up on 4 July 2023 for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, Carabalí started all five of Colombia's matches in Australia and New Zealand. The team beat South Korea 2–0 and Germany 2–1 and won its group despite a defeat by Morocco, then knocked out Jamaica in the round of 16 before losing to England in the quarter-finals. She had been in tears during the national anthem before the opening win over South Korea, later saying she had released everything she had held in since learning she was in the squad. Carabalí was named in Colombia's squad for the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup and, on 5 July 2024, for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Colombia again reached the quarter-finals, going out to Spain 4–2 on penalties after a 2–2 draw. She was a runner-up for a second time at the 2025 Copa América Femenina, where Colombia lost the final to Brazil on penalties. In May 2026, Ángelo Marsiglia included Carabalí in the squad for Colombia's closing CONMEBOL Women's Nations League…
