“This competition could not have a better host than Colombia, a country that will host a FIFA women’s tournament for the first time and will provide the ideal setting for this much-anticipated event,” he said through a video presented during the U20 World Cup draw in Bogota.
The FIFA president highlighted Colombia’s “vibrancy” and the “passion” of its fans, as reflected in the quarter-final match of the 2024 World Cup where the team seemed like the home team in Sydney.
“I cannot imagine what the atmosphere will be like in Bogota, Medellin, and Cali, as well as in the rest of the country in just a few weeks. Without a doubt, Colombia is a beautiful country with wonderful and hospitable people. They will welcome the teams and fans who visit them in the best possible way, demonstrating that football unites the world,” Infantino expressed.

On August 31, the opening match will be played at Campin Stadium in Bogota, where the final match will also be played on September 22.
“Colombia has made significant progress in women’s football, as shown by its recent results in international tournaments,” Infantino said.
“Hosting a FIFA tournament will serve to continue motivating the youth of the country and giving a new boost to women’s football,” he added.
The president of the Colombian Football Federation, Ramon Jesurun, emphasized that his country is very happy to welcome players and fans from around the world.
“This is not only a sporting event but also a platform to promote gender equality and inclusion in sports. It is a reminder that football is for everyone, regardless of gender, age, and origin. Together we can build a fairer and more equitable future for all,” he pointed out.
