And the rival of the final?

“What we need is the 30th (July) to come and play (at the Alfonso López stadium in Bucaramanga). We come with that mentality of going to fight for the title, to give Colombian women’s soccer a title, which is on the rise,” said local strategist Nelson Abadía.
And added: “We are happy, happy, with the arrival again at the World Cup and the Olympics. What our minor teams have also done, which is work we have been doing for four years, is bearing fruit.”
