Playing Style
A tall, aerially dominant right-footed centre-back and set-piece goal threat for Cagliari and Colombia, Mina is a commanding presence in both penalty boxes who wins his share of headers at either end. He stands 1.95 m, is right-footed, and has played 2,150 minutes this season, a steady run that has kept him in form.
World Cup History
The 2026 finals will not be Yerry Mina's first senior World Cup. He was part of Colombia's squad in 2018, and Néstor Lorenzo has named the centre-back in the 26 once more, an aerial presence at both ends who returns among the confirmed names for the group stage.

Goal Rush Impact

He brings 52 caps for Colombia and a record of 8 goals, an aerial menace who has added 2 goals in 26 club games this season. Rated at £17m, Colombia are a Tier 3 pick, a team billing for the tournament.
