Los Cafeteros will face Costa Rica and Jordan in friendlies before the mega competition.
The Colombia national football team will be looking to gear up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is all set to take place in Canada, Mexico and the USA. A total of 48 teams are going to battle for the prestigious title.
Los Cafeteros are placed in Group K along with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal, DR Congo and Uzbekistan. Their group stage journey is not going to be easy at all. The Néstor Lorenzo-led side came up with some underwhelming performances during the March international break.
They will now be involved in two friendly fixtures with Costa Rica and Jordan before heading on to the grandest stage of them all. This will be a perfect opportunity for them to gain some momentum before the FIFA World Cup 2026.
They still have some time to prepare. It will be interesting to see the final names to be called up by the head coach.
