Estadio Azteca is the most legendary stadium in World Cup history. It hosted the 1970 Final (Brazil 4–1 Italy) and the 1986 Final (Argentina 3–2 West Germany), and was the stage for both Maradona's infamous 'Hand of God' goal and his breathtaking 'Goal of the Century' against England in 1986. In 2026 it becomes the first stadium ever to host matches at three separate World Cups, and hosts the Opening Match on June 11.

About This Match
Uzbekistan face Colombia in the Group Stage of Group K on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. Uzbekistan are ranked #40 in the world and managed by Srecko Katanec; Colombia sit at #11 under Néstor Lorenzo. The match kicks off at 20:00 local time at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan make their historic World Cup debut at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, representing Central Asia at a major tournament for the first time. The White Wolves have been one of Asia's most improved national teams under Slovenian coach Srecko Katanec, developing a coherent playing style around Roma striker Eldor Shomurodov and the technical midfield of Jakhongir Sidiqov. Group K against Portugal, Colombia, and DR Congo is a challenging draw for debutants, but Uzbekistan's disciplined organisation and home-grown talent have already surprised larger nations in Asian competition. Their debut marks a historic milestone for football across Central Asia.
Read Uzbekistan preview →Colombia
Colombia arrive at World Cup 2026 carrying genuine momentum - 2024 Copa América finalists, Copa América top scorers, and runners-up despite facing Argentina's eventual champions. Under Néstor Lorenzo, Los Cafeteros play exciting, attacking football driven by the brilliant James Rodríguez, who at 34 may be making his final World Cup appearance, and the electric Liverpool winger Luis Díaz. Group K against Portugal, Uzbekistan, and DR Congo gives Colombia a real opportunity to progress from the group, though the clash with Portugal will be pivotal. James Rodríguez's Golden Boot-winning display at Brazil 2014 remains one of that tournament's lasting images, and he will be eager for one last curtain call.
