Let's remember that to qualify to the next round, you must be group leader. As there are only three groups, the other qualified team will be the best runner-up.  It is also worth remembering that although this is the first phase of the tournament, if there is a tie, the teams will go directly to the penalty shootout.

The Colombian national team, coached by Héctor Cárdenas, presented the following list of called-up players:

Óber Almanza, Luis Miguel Angulo, Alexei Rojas, Daniel Luna, Gian Cabezas, Juan José Mina, Tomás Ángel, Luis Miguel Marquines, Jhon Jáider Vélez, Carlos Cantillo, Gustavo Puerta, Cristian Valencia, Kevin Mantilla, Alexis Manyoma, José Daniel García, Yáser Asprilla, Andrés Salazar, Edier Ocampo, Juan Diego Castillo, Isaac Zuleta, Daniel Pedrozo, Deivi Barrios and Jorge Cabezas.

The Japan national team, coached by Koichi Togashi, presented the following list of called-up players:

S. Hadano, R. Kimura, R. Sato; J Haddow Maeda, S. Kikuchi, K. Kudo, H. Matsuda, S. Nakano, N. Takahashi, K. Takai, H. Tanaka; T. Fukui, S. Kitano, J. Nakamura, K. Sano, Z. Uno, R. Yamane, T. Yamazaki, Y. Masukake, Y. Yashiki; N. Kumata, R. Nitta, A. Yokoyama.

At the moment, Colombia has a defeat by penalties and a victory rescued at the last moment. If they win against Japan and Comoros loses against Algeria, Colombia would be the group leader and would qualify to the next round. They will have to be more consistent when it comes to finishing and manage to keep the score.

The Japanese started the tournament very well by beating Algeria in the first match by the minimum difference. Then, they lost to Comoros in a penalty shootout as they finished the 90 minutes without a goal. Against Colombia, Japan will have the obligation to win in order to regain the group lead and qualify for the next round.

The Japan vs Colombia match will be played at the Stade Parsemain, located in the city of Fos-sus-Mer, in France. This venue, inaugurated in 2005, has a capacity for 12,500 spectators.
