The Colombia national team has two friendlies lined up for the September FIFA date. After being eliminated in the round of 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Colombia is already planning for a new international cycle.
Who are the opponents?
The possible opponents would be Peru and Mexico, although the Colombian Football Federation has not yet made an official confirmation.
A new path to 2030
These matches would serve as a starting point for the qualifiers for the 2030 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Copa America. The sports planning also depends on the definition of Néstor Lorenzo's continuity as the national team's coach.
Pending decision on Néstor Lorenzo
In the coming weeks, the Colombian Football Federation is expected to confirm both the coach's situation and the official calendar for the September FIFA date. Colombia comes from a 0-0 draw against Switzerland on July 7, 2026, and has a recent record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses in their last 5 games.
