How many kilometers has the team covered?

Colombia already totals 12,860 kilometers in flights since the 2026 World Cup began, becoming the only squad to have played in Mexico, the United States and Canada. Managed by Néstor Lorenzo, they are set to face Switzerland on Tuesday, July 7 in Vancouver, aiming for a quarter‑final spot.

How did they get here?

The journey started at Banorte Stadium in Mexico against Uzbekistan, continued in Guadalajara versus the Democratic Republic of Congo, and finished at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, where a 1‑1 draw with Portugal secured first place in Group K. In the round of 16, last Friday, the Tricolor beat Ghana 2‑1 in Kansas, keeping alive the dream of matching Brazil’s 2014 best run.

What does this travel record mean?

Coaches admit physical fatigue is a factor, yet careful logistics have allowed players to keep their rhythm. Up to the group stage, travel between Mexico and the U.S. accounted for 4,960 miles (≈7,980 km). With the move to Canada, the total now exceeds 12,860 km, a historic figure highlighting the tournament’s multi‑host nature.

What’s next for Colombia?

After the win over Ghana, Colombia’s recent form reads 3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 matches (WWDDW), riding a two‑game winning streak. The latest official result was a 3‑0 victory over Australia on 2025‑11‑19. If they keep this momentum, the clash with Switzerland could be the decisive step toward the quarter‑finals and a new chapter in Colombian football history.
