2022 Colombia Home – Luis Diaz #7 XXL

The 2022 international season was a bittersweet chapter for Colombia national football team. Under head coach Reinaldo Rueda, Colombia competed primarily in the CONMEBOL qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and a series of international friendlies. Despite boasting one of South America’s most talented attacking pools, Los Cafeteros narrowly missed qualification, finishing 6th — level on points with Peru but eliminated on goal difference.

Colombia’s qualifying campaign was defined by fine margins and prolonged goal droughts. The team remained defensively competitive but struggled to convert chances, drawing multiple low-scoring matches that ultimately proved costly. Notable wins and spirited performances showed promise, yet inconsistency and an inability to finish decisive moments overshadowed the year.

The 2022 Colombia home kit, produced by adidas, returned to a bold, traditional identity. It featured a vibrant yellow base, navy blue detailing, and subtle red accents, reflecting the national flag. Clean shoulder striping and a modern athletic cut made it one of Colombia’s most aesthetically pleasing kits of the modern era — a shirt closely associated with a generational shift toward younger stars.
