Colombia wrap up their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with an international friendly against World Cup debutante Jordan on Sunday night.
Colombia vs Jordan Match Preview
Match News and Current Form
Colombia head into this clash with growing confidence after finishing above Brazil during the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying campaign. Despite suffering defeats against Croatia and France during the March international break, Nestor Lorenzo’s side bounced back strongly with a convincing 3-1 victory over Costa Rica in midweek.
La Tricolor continue to impress in attack, failing to score in just one of their last ten matches across all competitions. Their recent performances against elite opposition, including a draw against Argentina and a dominant 4-0 win over Mexico, highlight why many view Colombia as dangerous outsiders for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Jordan, meanwhile, continue their preparations for their first-ever World Cup appearance. Jamal Sellami’s side enjoyed a solid unbeaten stretch before suffering a heavy 4-1 defeat against Switzerland last time out.
The Jordanians have shown resilience against quality opposition in recent months, facing nations such as Nigeria, Egypt, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. However, defensive issues have become a concern after conceding 11 goals across their last four matches.
