ColombiavsRepública Democrática del Congo

Colombia meet DR Congo at Estadio Akron on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, match 48 of the tournament and the pivot of the group — by now both sides know exactly what a win is worth. Group K sends its top two through automatically, with the eight best third-placed teams across all twelve groups also advancing — so neither side can afford a flat ninety minutes.

Guadalajara provides the stage — home of C.D. Guadalajara (Chivas); its grass-bowl design pulls crowd noise straight down onto the pitch. Kickoff is 20:00 stadium time (CST); fans of Colombia and DR Congo can check the exact hour back home in the times panel below.
