Group K: Team Previews & Storylines

Portugal enters 2026 with one of the deepest squads in Europe. While the “Cristiano Ronaldo 2026” storyline dominates global search, the team is loaded with stars from the Premier League and Serie A. Their presence in Miami and Atlanta will make Group K one of the most expensive tickets of the opening round.

Colombia: The Yellow Fever in Florida
Colombia treats every match in the United States as a home game. With a massive Colombian diaspora in Miami and Houston, expect a “sea of yellow” in the stands. Their matches are famous for their high energy and high demand.
Key Player: Luis Díaz – An electric winger whose pace and skill make him a favorite for fans and a nightmare for defenders.
The Storyline: Colombia vs. Portugal in Atlanta is a potential “Group Decider.” The atmosphere at Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be one of the best of the entire group stage.
Uzbekistan: The Central Asian Debutants
