Nicknamed el Pindi, Darcourt played his entire career for local side Pinar del Río, except for half a season in Germany with Bonner SC,[1] when then Cuban leader Fidel Castro approved for the whole Cuban team to join the German 4th level side for part of the 1998/99 season. He also had a one month-trial with Olympique Marseille along with compatriot Osmín Hernández in 1998,[2] only for a Cuban official to prevent him to sign professional terms.[3]
Born in Candelaria, then in Pinar del Río Province, he won 5 Cuban league titles and was voted Cuban footballer of the year in 1991, 1992 and 1995.[4]
International career
One of the leading players of the Cuban team during the 1990s, he made his international debut for Cuba in 1995 and has earned a total of 73 caps, scoring 21 goals.[5] He represented his country in 15 FIFA World Cup qualification matches (6 goals)[6] and played at 3 CONCACAF Gold Cup final tournaments.
His final international was a July 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup match against the United States, quitting international football due to a persistent knee injury.[4]
