Since then, the team has accumulated four wins and four draws, counting both official matches and friendlies.

In the Qualifiers, Colombia closed the campaign by defeating Venezuela 6–3 away from home. With this result, Carrascal’s team secured third place, totaling 28 points in 18 games. That is, behind only Argentina and Ecuador, and thus confirmed their spot in the 2026 World Cup.

Likewise, Australia also secured a spot in the next World Cup. After finishing the Qualifiers in second place in Group C, behind only Japan, the Australians earned direct qualification for the tournament.
