The Colombia national team has a character that stands out among the crowd. It's Gustavo José Llanos, better known as 'El Cole', the most famous fan of the Tricolor. With his face painted yellow, blue, and red and a suit that represents the Andean condor, he has been following the team for 37 years around the world.

Who is El Cole?

'El Cole' claims to have accompanied the Selection to ten World Cups, thirteen Copa Américas, Olympic Games, and dozens of Qualifier matches. His characteristic look was born from a Colombian national symbol, with which he ended up building an internationally recognized identity.

How does his character transcend?

His figure transcended the sports field and began to receive commercial proposals. Sponsors arrived thanks to the image he built and positioned over the years.

What does it mean to be a fan of the Colombia national team?

For him, however, the most important thing is still to accompany the team regardless of who plays. I don't have a favorite player because the eleven on the field will always have my support.

Last result: Colombia 3-0 Australia (2025-11-19). Recent form: 3W-2D-0L (WWDDW).
