The Colombian Football Federation (FCF) confirmed today that the Cafeteros will be hosting their neighbors to the south in September at the Atanasio Girardot in Medellín and not in the Colombian capital of Bogota. The notion was being tossed around as soon as the final whistle was blown in the Peru match last week which the home side won 1-0 keeping Colombia´s fading World Cup hopes alive.

The FCF also made a petition to CONMEBOL in order to change the kickoff time to 4pm local time on September 5th due to pending travel plans that the Colombians have after the match en route to Montevideo as they will face the Uruguayans in a do or die clash at the mythical Estadio Centenario. Colombia are currently in seventh pace with 17 points and still have an outside shot of obtaining that fifth and final spot in that region´s qualifiers, thus earning them a playoff spot against the fourth place team from CONCACAF currently held by Mexico.
