Colombia: Football Talent & Rising Stars

In the major European championships, players of French nationality are the most represented, like the Spaniards and Germans. But Colombia is increasingly on board and transfers to Europe have accelerated. We know Luis Díaz at Bayern, Richard Ríos at Benfica, Juan David Cabal at Juventus… In the American championships, Colombians are legion. At the sources of this success: the training centers and working-class neighborhoods of Medellín and Envigado, where football is not just a simple sport, but the real hope for a better life.
