The game was part of the South American qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Colombia, currently sixth with 20 points, needs at least four points from their remaining matches to secure direct qualification, with their chances improving if they win both upcoming games against Peru and Argentina.

The result leaves Colombia on the brink of World Cup qualification, while Peru's hopes diminish as they remain near the bottom of the standings. The upcoming fixtures for both teams are critical, with Colombia needing at least a draw in their next matches to confirm their spot in the 2026 World Cup, and Peru's chances fading unless they improve their results in subsequent games.
