The Colombian Women’s U-20 National Team intensifies its preparation with a view to the next CONMEBOL South American category.

Technical director Carlos Paniagua has announced the call-up of 22 players for the third microwork cycle of the year, a fundamental step in the team’s consolidation process.

This training phase will take place in Bogotá, marking the beginning of a key concentration for the tactical and physical development of the national team.

The microcycle will take place in the Colombian capital from December 10 to 14. Immediately after completing its work in Bogotá, the delegation will embark on a trip to South America.

The destination is Buenos Aires, Argentina, where the team will have the opportunity to measure forces against a high-level rival on an international stage.

These friendly meetings seek to refine details and evaluate the performance of the players under competitive pressure.

The agenda in Argentina includes two friendly matches of great relevance. The first match is scheduled for Wednesday, December 17 at 7:00 am, while the second match will be on Friday, December 19 at 3:00 pm

Both duels will be played at the prestigious Lionel Andrés Messi Sports Facility, in Ezeiza, a first-class training center that guarantees optimal conditions for the dispute of these preparation matches.

The list of those summoned by Paniagua reflects a mix of national and international talent. Names of players from Colombian clubs such as Deportivo Cali, Atlético Nacional, América de Cali and Independiente Santa Fe stand out, with the latter being the one that contributes the most.

In addition, the call includes talent that plays abroad, such as Lena Anne Tusche (New Jersey, USA), Marleidy Cossio Mosquera (Banfield, ARG), Sintia Vanesa Cabezas Vanegas (Levante UD, ESP) and Ana Sofía Castañeda (Rayo Vallecano, ESP), which enriches the experience and competitive level of the group.

This microcycle and the matches in Argentina are vital on the route to the South American Championship. The coaching staff seeks to unite the group, implement its game model and give training to its main figures.

The experience of facing Argentina, a team with a tradition in women’s soccer, will be an important test to evaluate the progress and ambition of the Colombian U-20 Women’s Team before facing the continental challenge.
