Colombia's national team now knows when it will return to action after the 2026 World Cup. The team, led by Néstor Lorenzo, will reunite between September 21 and October 6, 2026.
What changes with the new calendar?
FIFA modified the international windows, and the team led by Néstor Lorenzo will reunite in a special period that will replace the traditional FIFA dates in September and October.
What is the benefit for Colombia?
With this new format, national teams will have a 16-day window to play up to four international games. This represents a significant change in the planning of commitments.
Colombia recently drew 0-0 with Switzerland on July 7, 2026. In their last 5 games, they have obtained 3 wins and 2 draws, without losses. Currently, J. Córdoba is out of the lineup due to an injury.
What's next for Colombia?
The technical staff will have almost two weeks of continuous work, which will allow them to strengthen tactical aspects, evaluate new players, and consolidate the team's game idea in the face of upcoming challenges. With this calendar, Néstor Lorenzo will have a greater opportunity to observe players, make variations, and prepare the team at the start of a new cycle after Colombia's participation in the 2026 World Cup.
