Uzbekistan vs Colombia — match preview
Uzbekistan meet Colombia in Group K of the 2026 World Cup. First-ever World Cup for a steadily improving Uzbek side.
Colombia arrive with their own plan. Fluent, in-form Colombia built around Díaz and James’s creativity. The match-up between Eldor Shomurodov and Luis Díaz is the headline individual battle.
On paper Colombia have the stronger squad, but World Cup group games are rarely straightforward — the underdog only needs one moment, and the favourite carries the pressure of expectation.
