Key match in Barranquilla. The Colombia National Team will face Bolivia on the penultimate date of the 2022 Qatar World Cup Qualifiers and does so under circumstances that are unknown to many. The bad timing of the team, the doubts left by Reinaldo Rueda, the poor performance and the few options available to qualify, add to the general annoyance that there is about the team in the Atlantic capital after the 0-1 defeat to Peru in the last match played at Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez.
Despite this, it is expected that people will once again massively accompany the Colombian National Team in what will be the last official match in Barranquilla in 2022. The situation at the sports level is not the best, however, players, managers and fans cling to the miracle of qualifying to be able to go to the World Cup event that will be held in December in Qatar.
It is important to remember that FIFA sanctioned four areas of the Metropolitano Stadium in Barranquilla and these will not be able to count on fans, this due to what happened on the last date when, after falling with Peru, some people insulted and threw objects at the players and coaching staff. The sanctioned areas are located in the north and south stands.
