Independiente Medellín Reveals 22-Player Call-Up Through Children’s Drawings — Medellín - Cusco

Independiente Medellín turned its medellín - cusco squad reveal into a children’s presentation before Thursday night’s Copa Libertadores match against Cusco. The club unveiled its 22-player call-up through drawings made by children.

Children Lead Medellín’s Reveal

Each of the 22 players was represented by a drawing made by a child. Medellín said the initiative was meant to honor the month of children, and the club used the reveal to place that idea at the center of its Libertadores buildup.

"En el mes del niño queremos enaltecer su creatividad, imaginación y amor por el equipo, y son ellos quienes tienen el honor de presentar los convocados para el juego de Libertadores este jueves ante Cusco".

Thursday Night At 9:00 p.m.

The match against Cusco was scheduled for Thursday at 9:00 p.m. That timing leaves the club’s call-up in the spotlight just hours before kickoff, with the squad already laid out in a format built around the children who drew each player.

The presentation also puts the focus on how Medellín chose to frame a standard roster announcement. Instead of a routine list, the club used a one-off public reveal tied to the month of children, giving its 22-player group a presentation that matched the occasion around the Libertadores fixture.

Cusco Faces A Different Reveal

For readers following the team before the match, the only immediate practical change is the format of the announcement: the call-up is out, and it came through the children’s drawings. The game itself remains Thursday’s 9:00 p.m. meeting with Cusco, but Medellín has already made its squad announcement feel different from the usual pre-match routine.
