Portugal launch Group K against DR Congo as Colombia and Uzbekistan complete quartet

Portugal’s World Cup 2026 campaign begins on 17 June at 19:00 against DR Congo in Group K, with Colombia and Uzbekistan providing contrasting styles in the same pool. The Portuguese federation is scouting Florida base camps with direct flights to likely group venues.

Congolese supporters in Belgium and France said they are organising group visas for U.S. travel, while Uzbekistan’s first World Cup appearance drives interest across Central Asia. Colombian media flagged potential knockout seeding implications if all four teams advance form strongly.
