Brazil and Colombia clash in a thrilling battle for the top of Group B standings
The Canarinha are already through to the semifinals of the CONMEBOL Copa América Femenina 2025™, and the Cafeteras have a great chance to join them
- Brazil aim to secure the top of the group.
- Colombia are in a strong position to qualify.
The CONMEBOL Copa América Femenina 2025™ has a huge showdown in store for the final matchday of Group B: Brazil and Colombia face off this Friday, July 25, in a match that could decide both the group winner and the last semifinalist.
Brazil arrive at the fifth round with a perfect record — three wins (9 points) from three matches. Arthur Elias’s squad has played solid football against Venezuela, Bolivia, and Paraguay, and need just a draw to secure first place in Group B.
A draw wouldn’t be a bad result for Colombia either. After drawing with Venezuela and beating both Paraguay and Bolivia, the Cafeteras are on the rise. Earning at least one point (they currently have 7) would seal their spot in the semifinals, while a win would place Ángelo Marsiglia’s team at the top of the group.
