Colombia and Nigeria meet on Sunday at the Stadion Miejski ŁKS in Łódź for a place in the semi-finals of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. Kick-off is scheduled for 8:00 a.m. local time.

Colombia reached the last eight after an 88th-minute own goal by Poland's Martyna Bartczak secured a 1-0 win in the Round of 16. The team advanced from the group stage as one of the best third-placed sides with four points.

“We will go game by game. We are very happy to be in the quarter-finals, so first we will think about Nigeria, but this team will always compete to win.”

— Juana Ortegón, Colombia captain

Nigeria arrives in strong form after a 3-0 victory over England, extending their scoring run to 13 goals in four matches. Goals against England came from Tosin Rafiu, Janet Akekoromowei, and Mary Mamudu, while captain Christiana Uzoma saved a penalty.

Colombia will be without forward Maithé López, who suffered a knee injury against Poland. Coach Carlos Paniagua acknowledged Nigeria's physical threat, while captain Juana Ortegón said the team is focused on the quarter-final but dreams of winning the title.

The winner will face either defending champions North Korea or Canada in the semi-finals. Colombia last reached this stage in 2010, losing to Nigeria 1-0 in Germany.
