A day after the final, the wound is still open. Colombia touched the glory in the Copa América Women, but ended up falling in penalties against Brazil and lost the opportunity to conquer its first continental title.
It was a hard blow, difficult to digest, as Catalina Usme summarized: “Unfortunately, we have to start over. It is to start again, recapitulate again to return to another Copa América. Perhaps for a new process and be able to achieve what we have dreamed so much.”
However, the tricolor does not have time for regrets, because the World Cup Qualifiers 2027 are just around the corner.

The Nations League begins for the Colombian National Team
Despite the grief, the classification to the final of the Copa América gave Colombia a direct quota to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
However, the next great challenge will be to ensure its presence in the World Cup that will be played within two years in Brazil. The road to that appointment already has a name: the Conmebol Women's League 2025-26, whose draw was held on July 31, leaving the competition calendar defined.
The format will be all against all, with nine South American selections competing in unique matches, without round trip. Brazil, as a host of the World Cup, will not participate, so Colombia must face direct rivals such as Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. The calendar determined that the tricolor will debut as a local against Peru on October 24 and will rest on the fourth day. The other key games at home will be against Venezuela, Chile and Uruguay.
Each point will be vital. The League of Nations will grant two direct quotas to the World Cup and two more via repechaje. Therefore, Colombia must become strong at home, especially against complicated rivals such as Chile and Venezuela, and seek to add in demanding visits to Argentina and Paraguay. The objective is clear: avoid repechage and seal its direct classification to the World Cup event.
The League of Nations, in addition to being the way to the World Cup, seeks to consolidate a regular high -level regular competition for South American women's football. For Colombia, it is the perfect opportunity to continue growing as a regional power, reinforce the process that has led her to dispute finals and demonstrate that the history of Quito was not an ending, but the continuation of a generation that continues to dream big.
