The Colombia national team has gone through a crisis that led to their absence from the 2022 World Cup. However, they have since rebuilt and are once again one of the strongest teams in South America, capable of defeating any opponent.
After 11 rounds of 2026 World Cup qualifying, Los Cafeteros are in third place, behind only Argentina and Uruguay. They are just three points behind the leaders, with Uruguay ahead only due to a better goal difference.
There’s no doubt that Colombia will eventually qualify for the World Cup, but lately, under coach Néstor Lorenzo, the team has had some struggles. In their most recent match, they lost 2-3 to Uruguay, following a 4-0 victory over Chile and a surprising 0-1 defeat to Bolivia.
Ecuador is also on track for World Cup qualification. With 16 points from 11 matches, they currently sit in fifth place. They have a comfortable 4-point lead over the seventh-place team, which would send them to the qualifying playoffs.
In their last match, Ecuador thrashed Bolivia 4-0, and before that, they had two consecutive 0-0 draws against Uruguay and Paraguay.
In their first match against Colombia, Ecuador managed a 0-0 draw.
