Colombia HubThe Colombia national team will face Portugal in Group K of the 2026 World Cup with qualification secured, but top spot still up for grabs. Colombia has six points after beating Uzbekistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, while Portugal is second with four units.
What happens if Colombia wins?
If Colombia wins, they will complete a perfect group stage with nine points and finish first without depending on the result between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uzbekistan. As group leaders, they will face one of the best third-placed teams from groups D, E, I, J, or L.
What happens if Colombia draws?
If Colombia draws, they will reach seven points and also retain the top spot. Portugal would finish with five points and could not catch up, so Néstor Lorenzo's team just needs to add a point to win Group K.
What happens if Colombia loses?
If Colombia loses, Portugal will rise to seven points and take the lead, while Colombia will finish second with six. There is no risk of falling to third place, as the Democratic Republic of Congo can only reach four points in the final match.
