After a good start in his second time as head of the Colombian team, Reinaldo Rueda had to get ready for Copa America that was going to be played in Colombia and Argentina. Nevertheless, everything is not going as planned. After all the preparations to play the tournament in Colombia, the COVID-19 pandemic and social unrest forced the South American Football Confederation to change the hosting country. Brazil became the new hosting nation. Now Rueda and his team are no longer playing at home. Once again Colombia faces adversities as it has happened throughout its history since 1989 when the world learned about Colombian football and players like René Higuita, the legendary goalkeeper who, with his stile, changed the way goalkeepers play in modern times. Colombia starts the tournament playing against Ecuador. It is the opportunity to erase the memories from the last game the two teams faced each other in Quito, Ecuador, for the qualifying to the World Cup in Catar 2022.
