The Colombian National Team faces Australia this Tuesday (18), starting at 10:30 PM (Brasília Time), at Citi Field in New York (USA). On the bench as an option is Jorge Carrascal, a Colombian athlete from Flamengo.
This is because coach Neto Lorenzo has lined up the South American team as follows: Camila Vargas, Santiago Arias, Dávinson Sánchez, Jhon Lucmí, Johan Mojica, Juan Camilo Portilla, Richard Ríos, Yaser Asprilla, James Rodríguez, Luis Díaz, and Luis Suarez.
The match between Colombia and Australia will be broadcast on the RC Sport channel on YouTube. The friendly is part of the teams' preparation for the 2026 World Cup and is seen as an opportunity to test formations and strategies.
Against New Zealand last Saturday (15), Lorenzo brought on Carrascal at the 65th minute. The Flamengo player replaced James Rodríguez, formerly of São Paulo. On that occasion, the Colombians won 2-1.
Flamengo and Fluminense play this Wednesday (19), and despite being the day after the friendly, there is a chance that Carrascal will strengthen Mengão. This is because the Rubro-Negro will use a chartered flight to bring back the Colombian and other national team players.
