Colombia Hub
The Colombia national football team led by Néstor Lorenzo will become on Tuesday the only team in the 2026 World Cup to play in Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
What has happened so far?
Colombia debuted in the World Cup on June 17 at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City with a 3-1 win over Uzbekistan. Then, they moved to Guadalajara to play their second group stage match against the Democratic Republic of Congo, which they won 1-0 on June 23.
Why is it important for Colombia?
This record surpasses what was seen in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, when logistics were limited to two countries. Now, the route has been drastically multiplied by extending to three nations, although only Colombia will be the only one to achieve all.
| Date | Match | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 2025-11-19 | Colombia - Australia | 3-0 |
| 2026-06-17 | Colombia - Uzbekistan | 3-1 |
| 2026-06-23 | Colombia - Democratic Republic of Congo | 1-0 |
What comes next?
Colombia moved to Kansas City to play the round of 16 against Ghana at Arrowhead Stadium, famous for its Guinness World Record for the loudest outdoor stadium roar. This 1-0 win gave them a complex pass to the quarterfinals.
The team led by captain James Rodríguez aims to advance in the tournament and make history in the 2026 World Cup.
