The Colombia U20 Women's National Team will face their Venezuelan counterpart for the second round of the South American Final Quadrangular of the category that takes place in La Calera, Chile. Those directed by Carlos Paniagua finalized details before facing the Vinotinto national team. The national team will be facing Venezuela this Thursday, April 21 at 5:30 p.m. in our country's time.
The match is particularly important because of the need to add up to three to define on the last date the two teams that will qualify for the world cup that will be held in August of this year in Costa Rica.
