Colombia returns to the World Cup after a short hiatus, and it will mark its comeback in 2026 by taking on a nation that has longed for this moment since achieving independence in 1991.
Uzbekistan is among four first-time participants competing in North America this summer, and what a stage to make their debut. The iconic Estadio Azteca, which looked magnificent on the tournament's opening day, hosts this match, where Colombia enters as the overwhelming favorite.
Nestor Lorenzo's squad could boast a potentially dangerous attack this summer, even with a 34-year-old James Rodríguez still in the fold. He may be well past his prime, but the youthful face from his glory days remains. He'll look to revive the magic of 2014 over the coming weeks, as Colombia seeks to make up for its absence in Qatar.
Their first opponents have only a handful of recognizable names, though manager Fabio Cannavaro carries more World Cup credentials than anyone stepping onto the pitch in Mexico City. Rodríguez may be a Golden Boot recipient, but Cannavaro claimed a Ballon d'Or on the strength of his commanding performances for champions Italy back in 2006.
Here's how you can follow Wednesday night's action.
