The 'cafetera' squad maintains the core that has led them to this stage, although they will present a forced change in the attack due to the absence of Jhon Córdoba due to injury. In his place will appear Luis Javier Suárez, who will have the responsibility of accompanying the offensive power of Luis Díaz and Jhon Arias.

On the other side will be a European team that has proven to be one of the most organized squads in the championship. Switzerland relies on a compact defense, quick transitions, and great efficiency from set pieces, aspects that could make the difference in a high-tension match.

The moment of truth has arrived for Colombia. After a solid group stage, the team led by Néstor Lorenzo will play the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup against a Swiss national team that has been characterized by its discipline, defensive strength, and ability to compete against any opponent.
