Colombia Hub
The Colombia national team is preparing to face Ghana in the round of 16, which will be their fourth challenge in the 2026 World Cup. Last result: Colombia 3-0 Australia (2025-11-19).
What happened?
The leadership of group K, which they obtained after drawing with Portugal 0-0 in the last match of the first phase, left the team in a zone of the bracket that anticipates a bittersweet scenario for an old acquaintance of both nations: José Néstor Pékerman.
Why is it important for Colombia?
The former player and strategist, 76, recently lamented that the order of the matches prevents Colombians and Argentines from disputing the grand final of the tournament being held in Mexico, Canada, and the United States.
| Date | Match | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 2025-11-19 | Colombia - Australia | 3-0 |
What comes next?
For Pékerman's projection to come true, Colombia must first overcome Ghana this Friday, July 3, and then win in the round of 16 against the rival that emerges between Algeria and Switzerland, to face Argentina in the quarterfinals. Recent form: 3W-2D-0L (WWDDW), on a 2-game winning streak.
