Luis Suárez leaves Sporting, gears up for new challenge | OneFootball

Luis Suárez has already joined the Colombia national team camp ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. After the end of the season with Sporting, about which he left a message, the Sporting striker linked up with the Cafeteros squad in Bogotá.

The green-and-whites’ ‘number 97’ is part of the final list of 26 players called up by Néstor Lorenzo and was welcomed enthusiastically by the Colombian federation. On social media, the national team highlighted the goalscorer’s arrival with a special message: “The World Cup attack keeps arriving with great pride”.

At 28, Luis Suárez is preparing to play in the first World Cup of his career, after a standout season at Alvalade. The forward finished 2025/26 as Sporting’s top scorer, thanks to the 38 goals he netted in 53 matches for the Lions.

Also including the matches played for the Colombia national team, the centre-forward ended the season with impressive numbers: 42 goals in 58 official matches, confirming his status as one of the main figures in Rui Borges’ side.

Before that, the Cafeteros still have a few warm-up matches to play, with the first scheduled for June 2 against Costa Rica.
