Quintero's Colombia journey comes to an end | OneFootball

Juanfer Quintero announced that he will no longer represent the Colombia national team. His last game 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 brings out so many feelings, it makes you cry… There are moments when we think it is good to step aside and give someone else the opportunity 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 at FC Porto between 2013 and 2015.
