Historic Match Ahead for Colombia's Women
The Colombian women's national team is set to face a pivotal moment in its sporting history. Following their impressive victory against Paraguay on May 3, 2026, where they secured a commanding 3-0 win, the team, led by coach Carlos Paniagua, is gearing up for what could be a defining match as they aim for a spot in the upcoming World Cup in Morocco.
This crucial encounter is scheduled for May 9, 2026, at the Ameliano Stadium in Villeta, Paraguay, kicking off at 12:00 PM (Colombian time). Fans can catch all the action live on Fútbol RCN HD2, the RCN Channel app, Gol Caracol HD2, Ditu, and Dsports Plus (channels 613-1613). The match will also see Peruvian referee Gaby Oncoy officiating, adding an extra layer of excitement to this high-stakes game.
Colombia's recent performance has been stellar, highlighted by their recent win over Paraguay, courtesy of goals from Dayana Torres in the 5th minute, Rihanna Cuesta in the 15th minute, and Maura Henao in the 90th minute. This victory has undoubtedly bolstered their confidence as they prepare for the Venezuelan squad.
Venezuela's Recent Struggles
On the other hand, Venezuela comes off a disappointing 1-0 loss to Argentina at the Defensores del Chaco Stadium in Asunción on May 6, 2026. The only goal of that match was scored by Agustina Maldonado from the penalty spot in the 88th minute, highlighting the struggles the Venezuelan team has faced in recent encounters.
To put things into perspective, in their last five matches, Venezuela has struggled to find their rhythm, whereas Colombia has shown a more consistent and dominant performance. Their last meeting, a memorable clash during the South American U-17 Championship on May 2, 2025, saw Colombia triumph over Venezuela with a convincing 3-0 scoreline, with goals from María Baldovino in the 20th, 30th, and 73rd minutes.
This upcoming match is not just a game; it's an opportunity for Colombia to solidify their place in the World Cup and for Venezuela to redeem themselves after recent setbacks. The stakes couldn't be higher as both teams prepare to battle it out for glory.
