Injury-Plagued Canada Faces Tough Test Against Powerful Colombia

On October 14th, 2025, the Canadian national team will take on Colombia in an international friendly match at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey. The Canadians are coming off a 1-0 loss to Australia last month, a performance that left much to be desired. They struggled for much of the first half and were ultimately undone by a late goal.

Now, the competition gets even tougher as Canada faces a Colombia side that finished 3rd in their South American World Cup qualifying campaign, ahead of the likes of Uruguay and Brazil. This Colombian team is lethal in attack, boasting the second-best goal-scoring rate in the region, behind only Argentina.

With Canada dealing with a number of injuries across the pitch, the odds seem to be stacked against them. The Canadians will need to be at their best to have a chance against the powerful Colombians, who have been in fine form, netting 13 goals in their last three games.
