Colombia Beats Jordan Prep With June 7 Tune-Up in San Diego — Colombia Vs Jordania
Colombia vs jordania arrived on Sunday, June 7, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. in San Diego, with Colombia using its last friendly before the World Cup to sharpen a squad that must be ready fast. Néstor Lorenzo treated it as the final test before the tournament.
Snapdragon Stadium and Lorenzo
The match was played at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, California, and it carried the weight of Colombia’s last preparation game before the World Cup. Lorenzo said, "Es el partido previo a la Copa del Mundo. Tenemos que asumir que si queremos llegar lejos, debemos mejorar. Ni una victoria, ni una derrota decantan el futuro, pero para agarrar confianza, que es importante en estos torneos, sería bueno hacer un gran partido. Este equipo tiene mucha entrega, garra".
That message matched the calendar. Colombia’s debut at the 2026 World Cup was set to come ten days later against Uzbekistan in Mexico City, so this was the only remaining match window to tighten details before the tournament opened.
Jordan’s First World Cup
Jordan arrived under Jamal Sellami and was preparing for its first World Cup appearance, which gave the friendly a different edge for both sides. Colombia was in Group K with Portugal, Congo and Uzbekistan, while Jordan was in Group J with Argentina, Austria and Algeria.
The matchup also came with history. This was only the second meeting between Colombia and Jordan, and the first one came on June 6, 2014, in Argentina, where Colombia won 3-0. James Rodríguez, Juan Guillermo Cuadrado and Fredy Guarín scored that day.
That earlier result is the one Colombia will carry into this meeting, but the more immediate fact is simpler: this was the final chance to leave San Diego with answers before World Cup play begins. For Lorenzo, the next 10 days were about turning one last friendly into a cleaner start in Mexico City.
