About Kevin Duvan Castano Gil
Néstor Lorenzo has handed Kevin Duvan Castano Gil a place in Colombia's 2026 World Cup 26, the midfielder making the final list. The CA River Plate midfielder is 25 at kick-off and valued at around €5.00m, fresh from winning the 2024-25 league title, his club's first, and a 2024 continental runner-up finish with Colombia before his move to River Plate.
Colombia were drawn in Group K, alongside Portugal, DR Congo and Uzbekistan. They open against Uzbekistan at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on 17 June, then face DR Congo at Estadio Akron in Zapopan on 23 June before meeting Portugal at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on 27 June. Colombia reached the finals by finishing third in CONMEBOL round-robin qualifying, qualifying on 4 September 2025.

Goal Rush Impact
Colombia's card carries Castano, a young midfielder whose value lies in winning the ball back rather than scoring. He has gathered 24 caps for Colombia already, a solid international tally for a 25-year-old, even if just 5 club games this season point to a player still settling at River Plate. Colombia carry a Tier 3 billing of £17m, a price set for the side rather than the individual.
