The Colombian National Team, faces two key duels on its route to the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada 2026. First you will have to play with Peru in Barranquilla (June 6) and then visit Buenos Aires to face Argentina (June 10).
With 20 points, The tricolor is in the sixth position, which for now gives a direct quota to the orbital appointment. His closest persecutor, Venezuela, is seventh with 15 points, a record that for now allows the Vinotinto to access the repechage. How many points does Colombia need to classify?
Throughout the history, since the South American qualifiers are played with the format of all against all, the sum necessary to classify the maximum appointment of selections round between 24 (minimum the repechage) and the 27 points (they ensure the direct quota).
That scenario determines that Colombia with two victories and a draw the ticket to the tournament that will be held in North America would be guaranteed. With four dates still to play (12 points), the tricolor would have to win the two commitments he has at home and tie at least one of his two visits.
There is also a scenario in which the national team could classify the World Cup with six points, but other people's results are needed. If the Colombian team expires Peru and Argentina, and Venezuela tied with Bolivia in Maturín, the classification would be ready two dates in advance.
For Nestor Lorenzo it is essential to achieve the goal of being one of the 48 selections that will play the next orbital event. The first step will take place this Friday in the Metropolitan of Barranquilla against the Peruvian team, which is forced to win to stay alive.
