The South American side are confident of having a deep run in the tournament after finishing runners-up at the 2024 Copa America.
After missing Qatar 2022, Colombia are back for their seventh FIFA World Cup.
The South Americans were runners-up at the 2024 Copa America, narrowly losing the final to Argentina after extra time.
They also impressed in the continental football qualifiers, gaining revenge over Argentina and also beating Brazil.
Néstor Lorenzo’s side will therefore be confident of progressing out of a World Cup group containing Portugal, DR Congo – making their first appearance in 52 years – and debutants Uzbekistan.
