Colombia Faces Argentina in Women’s Copa América Semifinal Showdown

Quito, Ecuador – The Colombia women’s national soccer team is set to face Argentina in the semifinals of the Copa América 2025 on July 28. After finishing second in Group B, Colombia is aiming for a spot in the final for the second consecutive time.

Colombia secured its semifinal berth after accumulating eight points from two wins and two draws. In their final group match, they played to a 0-0 draw against Brazil, who topped the group. The match featured a controversial performance as Brazil’s goalkeeper received a red card early on, but Colombia could not capitalize on the numerical advantage.

The star player for Colombia, Linda Caicedo, has been instrumental throughout the tournament. Her performance, alongside teammates like Leicy Santos and Catalina Usme, is critical as they prepare to take on Argentina, who has not lost a match in this tournament.

Argentina comes into this match with a perfect record, having won all four of its group stage games, including a recent 2-0 victory over Ecuador. Colombia’s recent form includes a standout 8-0 win against Bolivia, which boosted their confidence ahead of this crucial clash.

The stakes are high for both teams, with a direct ticket to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games on the line for the winner. Colombia is looking to replicate its success from the 2022 Copa América, where they secured an Olympic spot but fell to Brazil in the final.

The upcoming match will take place at the Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado in Quito at 7:00 p.m. local time. It is expected to draw significant attention from fans and media alike.
