Two wins, six points, and a genuine shot at topping Group K. Colombia heads into the final round of group play at the 2026 FIFA World Cup as the table leader, a position few predicted before a ball was kicked. Standing between them and first place is Portugal, which sits at four points and needs a win to claim the group.
The match is scheduled for June 27, 2026, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, one of the marquee venues in a tournament jointly hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico. It is the first World Cup to feature 48 teams, which means more groups and more games.
How the group table got here
Colombia’s path to six points was built on two relatively efficient performances. They opened with a 3-1 win over Uzbekistan, then followed with a tighter 1-0 result against Congo DR. The points are banked. A win or a draw against Portugal guarantees them top spot in Group K.
Portugal arrives with four points. The math is straightforward: Portugal wins the group with a victory, Colombia holds the advantage with anything else.
