Summary

We're continuing our look into domestic soccer in the countries that have qualified for the 2026 World Cup, and this week... it's Colombia! The country of Valderrama and James Rodriguez features one of the oldest leagues in South America, has had years-long breaks with FIFA, was unintentionally impacted by the Clinton administration, and keeps on kicking. Who are the top flight's most decorated teams, what is the strength of the league relative to its confederation, and... what exactly is the name of the league itself? All that and much more!
