Colombia take on the visitors France in a Friendly International match. The match will be played on Sunday, March 29th at Northwest stadium (Landover, MD).
Colombia are returning to the World Cup. “Los Cafeteros” were quarterfinalists in 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, and then reached the playoffs again four years later. However, they failed in the previous cycle. Fortunately, they managed to regroup, rebuild and produce strong football in the new qualification campaign. They settled all questions in September by defeating Bolivia national football team and Venezuela national football team, eventually finishing third in the group with the same 28 points as several competitors. After that, Néstor Lorenzo and his team активно played friendly matches. Mostly successfully: in 2025 they thrashed Mexico national football team and Australia national football team, beat New Zealand national football team 2-1, and only failed to score against Canada men's national soccer team in a 0-0 draw. In the current window, they started the new calendar year unsuccessfully with a 1-2 loss to Croatia national football team. Overall, Colombia’s recent results show they are competitive again, even if consistency is not yet perfect.

France have been playing for more than a decade under their former captain. With him, they won the World Cup and in Qatar lost to Argentina national football team in what many consider the best final in history. There were also setbacks — for example, the defeat to Portugal national football team in the decisive match of the home European Championship a decade ago. Overall, however, they have maintained consistently high results, although there are still questions about their performances and whether the former midfielder is getting the maximum out of a star-studded squad led by Kylian Mbappé. In the latest qualification campaign, while comfortably securing first place (beating Ukraine national football team, who finished second, twice without conceding), the favorites struggled against Iceland national football team, narrowly winning at home and drawing 2-2 in Reykjavik. France began 2026 with a match against Brazil national football team and, despite being reduced to ten men early in the second half, secured a 2-1 victory. Their current form looks solid, as they continue to deliver results even in challenging situations.
There have been three matches in total. The Europeans won twice, including at the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup, before losing to the South American side in 2018. It is unlikely that the teams will play differently from their recent matches this week. The Europeans should once again be able to defeat the Latin Americans.
Prediction for the match: France to win.
