Colombia FIFA World Cup

Football World Cup 2026

Colombia's FIFA World Cup team made its first appearance in the tournament in 1962, when they reached the group stage. Their best performances in the FIFA World Cup came in 1990 and 2014.

In the 1990 FIFA World Cup held in Italy, Colombia reached the round of 16, their best performance at that time. In 2014, they reached the quarter-finals, which was their best performance to date.

Colombia has not won the FIFA World Cup yet. However, they have had notable players throughout their history, including Carlos Valderrama, who is often considered one of the best Colombian players of all time. Other notable players include Faustino Asprilla, James Rodríguez, and Radamel Falcao.

The best coach for Colombia's national team is a matter of debate, but some notable coaches in their history include Francisco Maturana, who led them to their first World Cup appearance in 1962 and coached them in the 1990 and 1994 World Cups, and José Pékerman, who guided them to their best performance in 2014.

James Rodríguez scored the most goals for Colombia in a single FIFA World Cup tournament, netting six goals in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, where he won the Golden Boot award.

In the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup, Colombia's performance will depend on various factors including squad strength, form, and tactics at the time. As of my last update, I can't provide information on their performance in that specific tournament.
