In the Colombian League, the all-against-all phase of the first half of 2022 is nearing the end. Each matchday has been injected with a dose of young talent that has left flashes of good football in the matches.
Several teams in the tournament have bet on the sports academy and have ‘laid their hands’ on those who stand out the most in sports and can support the first team.
Some of them have already had experience with the Colombian National Team and others have been key for their clubs in international tournaments.
