Colombia is gearing up to face Brazil next week in a crucial South American qualifying match, as coach Néstor Lorenzo finalizes his squad.
This doubleheader could significantly impact their chance of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. The Colombian team, known for its defensive strength and dynamic play, is looking to secure vital points against Brazil and Paraguay.
The match against Brazil on March 20 in Brasília poses a tough challenge. Brazil, though not at its historical peak, remains a formidable opponent in South America.
Colombia’s strategy will hinge on maintaining their robust defense while capitalizing on offensive opportunities as they aim to compete in unfamiliar territory.
Five days later, Colombia will host Paraguay in Barranquilla, a key fixture for bolstering their standing in the qualifiers.
Paraguay is recognized for its physical style and resilience, making this encounter equally demanding.
Lorenzo’s squad will need to bring their best performance to secure a much-needed home victory.
