Colombia Suspends Training in Guadalajara Ahead of World Cup Clash with Congo

Colombia's final training session before their World Cup match against Congo was suspended on Monday due to heavy rain in Guadalajara, Mexico. The team's players were forced to take shelter after practicing for less than 30 minutes at a training center, with the Colombian football federation confirming that the session resumed indoors in a gymnasium where players completed individual technical drills and mobility circuits.

The match between Colombia and Congo is scheduled for Tuesday in Group K of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Colombia enters the fixture as group leaders following a 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan in their opening match, while Congo sits in second place after a 1-1 draw with Portugal. The game will be both teams' second group stage contest.

Meanwhile, Congo conducted their training session in the morning in the United States before traveling to Guadalajara later Monday. Both teams are preparing for what will be a decisive encounter in their World Cup campaign, with weather having forced Colombia to adapt their final preparations despite the disruption.
