It is worth remembering that Colombia has been crowned champions of this tournament three times: the first was in 1999, when it was imposed on penalties against Argentina; in 2000, then, in the same way, it defeated Portugal, and in 2011, under the command of Eduardo Lara, when it also beat France from the penalty shootout.
For now, led by Hector Cardenas continue their preparation for the South American U-20 Championship that will be held next year in Colombia and which will place the World Cup in Indonesia 2023. In addition, it will grant places to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and the Pan American Games.
The coach spoke about the importance of this tournament that he will face with U-19 players with the intention of playing a good role as in previous years.
This will be Colombia's 48th participation, which last played this competition in 2014, when it did not pass the group stage. The national team that won the most titles is France (12 times) followed by Brazil (9) England (7). The Tricolor, for its part, occupies the fifth place of winners with three trophies.
The last time Colombia played a final was in the 2013 edition, when it fell by the slightest difference to Brazil. That team was led by Carlos' Piscis' Restrepo and had Miguel Ángel Borja among its ranks.
This friendly tournament, which has been held on French soil since 1967, will be a good test for the Tricolor, which comes from winning the Raúl Coloma Cup, which took place in Chile, where Tomás Ángel, the benchmark of this team with a view to the South American U-20, was played by Tomás Ángel.
