Playing Style
A right-footed centre-back for Cruz Azul and Colombia, Ditta is a recent league best-eleven defender, strong in the duel and reliable in the air, a no-nonsense stopper who keeps things simple. He stands 1.79 m, is right-footed, and has earned his place on the back of consistent club form in Mexico.
World Cup History
This is Willer Ditta's first senior World Cup. Néstor Lorenzo has named the centre-back in Colombia's 26, and a debut tournament now lines up for him, a chance to bring his defending and aerial presence onto the biggest stage after a strong club season.

Goal Rush Impact
Ditta is Colombia's defensive pick on the card, a centre-back whose game is built on stopping play rather than scoring. He brings 3 caps for Colombia and is working his way into the squad picture, the kind of no-nonsense defender Lorenzo can call on to add steel at the back. Colombia are set at £17m, a Tier 3 team, a figure that reads the side rather than the defender.

Colombia field Ditta in defence. The CD Cruz Azul man earned Néstor Lorenzo's nod and a place in the 26 for the 2026 World Cup.
No. Before 2026 the centre-back Ditta had featured at no senior World Cup whatsoever; now, picked by Néstor Lorenzo, he steps onto that stage for the first time.
On CD Cruz Azul's books, Ditta is listed among Colombia's defenders in Néstor Lorenzo's 26, and the side opens Group K with Uzbekistan in mid-June.
