Colombia and Jordan will conclude their preparations for the 2026 World Cup when they lock horns in an international friendly at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego on Sunday.
Both nations arrive in North America with ambitious targets for the tournament ahead, although the primary objective here will be to fine-tune tactics, build rhythm and avoid any late injury setbacks before the real action begins.
The two sides have met only once before, with Colombia running out comfortable 3-0 winners in Buenos Aires a decade ago, and Jordan will now be eager to produce a strong performance against one of South America's traditional powerhouses.

Colombia finished ahead of Brazil during the World Cup qualifying campaign and arrive at the tournament with genuine ambitions of making a deep run, boasting a squad packed with technical quality, attacking flair and big-game experience.
Nestor Lorenzo's side endured a disappointing March international window, suffering defeats to France and Croatia, but they responded in encouraging fashion by dispatching Costa Rica 3-1 and restoring confidence ahead of their final preparations.
Much of the spotlight will inevitably fall on Luis Diaz, who has enjoyed a sensational 2025-26 campaign with Bayern Munich, and the Colombian faithful will hope their talisman can carry that form onto football's grandest stage.
Easy on the eye and fearless in attack, Colombia have developed a habit of finding the net, scoring in six of their last seven matches and failing only once in a goalless draw against Canada, a statistic that underlines why they could be one of the tournament's dark horses.
Jordan have already secured their place in the nation's sporting history by reaching the World Cup for the first time, and they head into the tournament carrying neither pressure nor expectation.
That could prove to be their greatest weapon, as the freedom to play without fear often allows underdogs to punch above their weight, and Jordan will quietly fancy their chances of springing a surprise or two along the way.
Preparations have not been ideal for Jamal Sellami's side, however, with Jordan winless in their last four matches and suffering defeats in two of those outings.
Sellami could therefore freshen up his lineup for this friendly, with Rajaei Ayed, Ehsan Haddad, Noor Al-Rawabdeh, Mohannad Abu Taha and Yazan Al-Arab all potential candidates to be rested after playing more than 70 minutes against Switzerland.

Whispers predicts: Colombia 3-1 Jordan
Colombia have a star-studded squad and they will look head into this tournament on a positive frame of mind, and a win here will certainly lift their spirit. Against Costa Rica, they scored on both halves, and bookies back them to win both halves at 8/13 (1.62).
Both teams have scored in four of their last five matches, and therefore BTTS – Yes at 5/4 (2.25) is highly on the cards.
Jordan have scored the first goal in seven of their last nine matches, and they can be backed to do it again at 17/4 (5.25), although it could be a long shot.
> HT/FT: Colombia/Colombia at 8/13 (1.62) | Likelihood: Possible
> BTTS – Yes at 5/4 (2.25) | Likelihood: Possible
> Over 2.5 goals at 1/2 (1.5) | Likelihood: Possible
