Quintero ends his Colombia journey | OneFootball

Juanfer Quintero announced that he will no longer play for the Colombia national team. His last match for the national side was at the 2026 World Cup, against Switzerland, in the round of 16.

“I felt that after the frustration of the World Cup, and that’s how I conveyed it to the coaching staff and my teammates. The frustration of losing is so great, it stirs up so many feelings, it makes you cry… There are moments when we think it’s good to step aside and give someone else the chance to come in,” he explained in an interview with Colombian TV channel Win Sports.

At 33, the attacking midfielder made 54 appearances for the Cafeteros, scoring six goals and providing ten assists.

Quintero, who currently plays for Independiente Medellín, was with FC Porto between 2013 and 2015.
