Colombia’s senior women’s national team met Venezuela twice in the October FIFA window, on October 10 and 13 at the Centro Nacional de Alto Rendimiento on Isla de Margarita. The Colombian federation presented the pair as its first gathering after recent continental and regional competition, and as preparation for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil. The October 5 roster update also replaced injured Tigres player Ilana Izquierdo with Atlético Nacional’s Sara Sofía Martínez. Friendlies are not a tournament table, but they matter because a national-team cycle is made in these smaller windows: player availability, travel, coaching choices and a chance to test relationships before stakes rise. The dates and change are official federation facts, not a claim that either match predicts a World Cup finish.
