Colombia and Iraq will play a friendly on June 16 at the Mestalla stadium, which this year celebrates its centenary. The coffee team returned to Valencia twelve years after the match on September 7, 2011, when Spain beat them 1-0 thanks to a goal by former Valencian player David Silva, now at Real Sociedad.
He will do it to footballers of the stature of James Rodríguez, Radamel Falcao, Juan Cuadrado, David Ospina, Luis Díaz or Yerry Mina, which will delight fans of Colombia, a country that according to INE has more than half a million people living in Spain.
Colombia is currently ranked 17th in the FIFA Ranking, while Iraq is the 67th and current champion of the Gulf Nations Cup, having won last January under the command of Spanish coach Jesús Casas García.
