Venues

Colombia presented the cities of Bogotá, Villavicencio, Bucaramanga, Cúcuta, Ibagué and Neiva as host cities when they bid to host the tournament. [12] After an inspection meeting in October 2014, four stadiums were confirmed, with Neiva allowed an extension to finish works, [13] before being removed as a venue later that month. [14]

Confirmation of the four host cities were presented to the Colombian Football Federation and FIFA on 11 November. [15] Medellín then replaced Villavicencio. [16] A further inspection in January 2016 saw the removal of Ibagué as a host, meaning half of the cities in the initial bids proposal are confirmed, with the three remaining cites scheduled to accommodate two groups per stadia. [17] [18]
