Colombia has revealed its starting eleven for the final Group K match against Portugal, set for June 27, 2026, in Miami. With two wins already in the bag, this is less about survival and more about positioning.
Los Cafeteros topped the group heading into this fixture after dispatching both Uzbekistan and DR Congo. A result against Portugal would lock in favorable seeding for the round of 32.
The lineup and formation
Coach Néstor Lorenzo is expected to stick with the 4-3-3 formation that has carried Colombia through the group stage unscathed.
Captain James Rodríguez anchors the creative engine. Luis Díaz provides the width and direct running that stretches defenses. Then there’s Luis Suárez up top. The veteran striker has been nursing a minor shoulder concern, but nothing significant enough to keep him out of the starting lineup.
