The current first-choice — a switch that Lorenzo made before the 2024 Copa América and has kept faith with since. Vargas’s penalty-saving record has been one of his identifying traits across both Liga MX titles and Colombia’s qualifying campaign, and he gives the team a level of composure that the team historically associates with Ospina.
The Ospina shadow is the headline narrative: Vargas has earned the No. 1 shirt at 36, but Ospina is the all-time most-capped player in Colombia history, and any shaky goalkeeping moment will invite the question of whether Lorenzo should switch back. The Group K matchups (Portugal’s varied attack, DR Congo’s direct counter-attacks, Uzbekistan’s set-piece reliance) will likely give the team’s goalkeeper a different challenge in every match.
