Colombia are back at the World Cup and FIFA's official qualified-teams tracker lists them among CONMEBOL's six automatic qualifiers.

Luis Diaz is the side's biggest game-breaker and still the player most likely to turn a level match in Colombia's favour through individual action.
Midfielder
León
James no longer defines every minute of Colombia's football, but he still offers vision and emotional calm in possession-heavy matches.
Midfielder
Palmeiras
Rios gives the side modern midfield energy and helps connect old-school technique to current tournament intensity.

Defender
Crystal Palace
Munoz brings constant forward running from defence and helps Colombia create pressure without sacrificing too much intensity.
