👋 My last game: David Ospina says goodbye to Atlético Nacional | OneFootball

It’s official. Legendary goalkeeper David Ospina confirmed this Tuesday, May 26, 2026, that he will not renew his contract with Atlético Nacional. After securing qualification for the 2026-I Liga BetPlay final, the goalkeeper with the most appearances in the history of the Colombia national team announced that he will bring his second spell at the club he loves to an end after the 2026 World Cup.

A golden return to Colombian football

Since returning to the country in July 2024, “King David” enjoyed a highly successful spell with the Verdolaga side, winning four domestic titles: the 2024 Copa BetPlay, the 2024-II Liga BetPlay, the 2025 Superliga, and the 2025 Copa BetPlay. “My contract ends in June. Now all I have left is to enjoy my time with the national team, and after that I’ll analyze the future with my family,” said the goalkeeper from Medellín.

Focused on the World Cup and the altitude

Ospina is already training with the Colombia national team in Bogotá, where he hopes to contribute his experience playing in high-altitude cities. If he gets minutes at the 2026 North America tournament, he will enter the country’s golden history by playing in his third World Cup, joining legends such as Carlos Valderrama, Freddy Rincón, and Faryd Mondragón.
