Through its official website, the Colombian Football Federation announced that the FVS (Football Video Support) will be used. during the tournament that will take place starting August 31 and runs until September 22.

“The (FVS) version is an example of the work that world football’s governing body is doing to help referee teams with the use of new technologies,” reads the FCF website.
Colombia will debut in this tournament on August 31 against the Australian National Team at the Nemesio Camacho el Campín stadium at 3:00 pm (local time).
