Everything is ready at Metropolitano de Barranquilla, the home of the Colombian national team, so that the under-12 LaLiga players can continue to show off the level of our club academies.
The day before the tournament kicks off, the children had the chance to train on the stadium's pitch, get acclimatised to the heat and humidity and be amazed by the size of the Metropolitano stadium. It has a capacity of 50,000 people and was one of the venues for the Copa América in 2001.
The sports media outlets from the city followed the training session with great interest, as for Barranquilla this is a top level sporting event, just like everything linked to LaLiga.
In addition to a focus on Real Madrid CF and FC Barcelona, the success of Carlos Bacca at Sevilla FC has caused a real stir among football fans in Colombia, and made them pay more attention to professional football in Spain.
