Colombian full-back Daniel Muñoz said that the Colombian national team, runners-up at the Copa América in the United States, is ready to play in the 2026 World Cup final after proving that it can compete “on equal terms” with any rival.
“This team is ready to play in the next World Cup final, that’s what we’re going to aim for. First we have to qualify. We hope that we can qualify this year; we have six matches and if we play well we can practically qualify for the World Cup,” said the footballer at a press conference in Medellin, prior to a Nike autograph signing.
