Colombia and DR Congo are set to clash in an intriguing encounter during the second round of Group K at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The match will take place at Guadalajara Stadium in Mexico, with Italian referee Maurizio Mariani officiating the game.
Colombia currently boasts 3 points after a convincing 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan in their opening match. DR Congo, on the other hand, enters the fixture with a valuable point, earned from a prestigious and surprising 1-1 draw against group favorites Portugal. The stakes are incredibly high for both teams: a win for Colombia would virtually secure their qualification for the Round of 16, while another positive result for DR Congo would keep the African team's chances of an historic group stage exit very much alive.
