Under the guidance of coach Carlos Panigua, the Colombian team aims to conclude their participation in the CONMEBOL tournament held in Paraguay with a ticket to Morocco 2026 firmly in hand. Although the 'tricolor' squad did not advance to the semifinals and compete for the title due to direct match results against Chile and Argentina, they achieved a significant victory by defeating Paraguay 3-0.
On the other hand, Venezuela, known as 'La Vinotinto', recently faced a setback, losing 1-0 to Argentina in the semifinals. They now find themselves in a playoff against the 'yellow' team for a chance to qualify for the U17 World Cup in Morocco. Brazil and Argentina, who will compete in the final, have already secured their spots in this prestigious tournament.
Sofía Prieto, the goalkeeper for the Colombian U17 Women's National Team, expressed confidence in their preparation, stating, "Together with the coaching staff, we have analyzed Venezuela; they are a strong team. We understand that they present numerous tactical challenges. We have been working hard all week and will give our all in the match." These sentiments reflect the determination and focus of the team as they prepare for this pivotal showdown against Venezuela.
The other playoff match will see Chile facing off against Ecuador. The Chilean team lost to Brazil in the semifinals, unable to convert a penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw in regulation time.
