The International Tennis Federation (ITF) confirmed on Tuesday the cross-off crossings of the Davis 2026 Cup, in which Colombia will be measured as a visitor against Morocco in the series corresponding to the World Group I. The duel will be played next February.
The Colombian team, which has the support of Colsanitas, comes from 3-1 before Slovakia in its most recent participation, will have the opportunity to look for a new impulse on the road to the elite of Davis.
In that series, the national team with Alejandro Falla as Captain. Nicolás Mejía and Adriá Soriano competed in the mode of singles, while Nicolás Barrientos and Cristian Rodríguez did it as doubles. Miguel Tobón Jr. was also part of the call.
The raffle made in London left the pairings for the 26 keys, with 52 nations involved. The winners of the World Group I will ensure a place in the September qualifiers, where they will cross the selections that lose in the first round of the 2026 Qualifiers.
Morocco, who will be the host of the series, arrives with a team without great names in the ATP circuit. Its main letters are Taha Baadi, Reda Bennani and Elliot Bencherrit, none of them located within the top 500 of the world ranking.
That condition makes Colombia a favorite in the key. The recent tricolor tennis history in Davis shows a transition team. It is a clear opportunity to recover confidence and strengthen a new generational cycle.
