🚨 James Rodríguez sets a prestigious record with Colombia | OneFootball

A new page in the history of the Colombian national team was written tonight.

Starting in Colombia’s 2026 World Cup round-of-16 clash against Switzerland, captain James Rodríguez (34) earned his 123rd cap for Los Cafeteros, officially becoming the most-capped player in Colombia’s history.

Rodríguez therefore moves ahead of legendary goalkeeper David Ospina (122 caps) and takes sole possession of the top spot in this historic ranking. It is a well-deserved reward for a player who continues to lead the Colombian national team at the highest level, more than fifteen years after his international debut.

Having notably played for Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, FC Porto and AS Monaco, James Rodríguez is regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of Colombian football. For many observers, he belongs on the podium alongside Carlos Valderrama and Radamel Falcao.
