Colombia seeks the honor of South American football in the World Cup 2026. After six games, the team led by Néstor Lorenzo has shown to be one of the strongest teams in the tournament. However, they have a great challenge ahead: qualifying for the quarterfinals.

What has happened?

Colombia has played four games in the World Cup 2026 and has won three of them. Their last game was against Switzerland in Vancouver, which ended in a 0-0 draw. Despite not scoring any goals, the team has shown a great defense and has maintained possession of the ball.

Why does it matter for Colombia?

Qualifying for the quarterfinals would be a great achievement for Colombia. It would be their best result in a World Cup since Brazil 2014. Additionally, it would maintain the honor of South American football in the tournament.

What comes next?

Colombia will play their next game against Argentina in Kansas City. If they manage to qualify for the quarterfinals, they will face Argentina in the semifinals. The victory would be a great achievement for the team and maintain the honor of South American football in the World Cup 2026.

Colombia aims to equal their best result in a World Cup (the quarterfinals in Brazil 2014), while their rival, Switzerland, is not among the top eight since the edition organized in 1954. If Argentina and Colombia advance, they will face each other in Kansas City and ensure the presence of a South American team in the semifinals. Now that the World Cup is approaching the decisive phase and the focus should only be on the pitch, the football world is still stunned by the intervention of Donald Trump, who called the FIFA president to ask to be allowed to play in the World Cup.

Colombia has scored five goals in four games, fewer than they should to cause concern among their fans. With Jhon Córdoba injured, it should be Luis Suárez who assumes, along with Luis Díaz, the role of goal-scorer, but the Sporting de Lisboa attacker has not yet met the expectations created around him after his great season in Portugal: 28 goals and 9 assists in 53 games with the green and white shirt.

Colombia seeks qualification against Switzerland (3:00 p.m.) in Vancouver, which will be the last game of the World Cup outside the United States. The team led by Néstor Lorenzo arrives undefeated (three wins, one draw) and as one of the strongest teams, but has a great debt: the goal. The coffee growers have scored five goals in four games, fewer than they should to cause concern among their fans. With Jhon Córdoba injured, it should be Luis Suárez who assumes, along with Luis Díaz, the role of goal-scorer, but the Sporting de Lisboa attacker has not yet met the expectations created around him after his great season in Portugal: 28 goals and 9 assists in 53 games with the green and white shirt.

Last result: Switzerland 0-0 Colombia (2026-07-07). Recent form (last 5): 3W-2D-0L (DWDWW, most recent first); unbeaten in the last 5.
