Green light for Colón: youngsters to keep playing in AFA in 2026 | OneFootball

The participation of Colón's youth divisions in the AFA tournaments for the upcoming year (2026) is practically confirmed, as they have received official approval. This is a great boost for the young players, as being in these competitions significantly enhances their quality and experience, better preparing the reserve team for the transition to the First Division and bringing local talents closer to a more competitive level.

Colón and Ferro are currently the only clubs in the Primera Nacional with this privilege.

The Risk Factor: The Arrival of More Teams

However, this continuity could be affected if other teams from the lower divisions manage to join the structure of the Professional League. It is rumored that Quilmes, driven by its sports management, is working on its own inclusion.

The club from Santa Fe remains calm but is attentive to this possible "contagion effect" that could change the current conditions of participation.

If continuity is confirmed for 2026, Colón will strengthen a unique developmental project within the category, offering its youth players valuable exposure that enhances their comprehensive development before joining the professional squad.
