About Luis Suárez
Luis Suárez is a forward in Colombia's 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup, named on 25 May 2026 and listed in the forward group alongside Luis Díaz, Jhon Córdoba, Cucho Hernández and Andrés Gómez. The Sporting CP striker is 28 at kick-off and brings 10 senior Colombia caps and four international goals into what would be his first World Cup. This is Colombia's Luis Javier Suárez Charris, not the Uruguay forward of the same name.
Colombia are in Group K with Portugal, DR Congo and Uzbekistan, opening against Uzbekistan at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on 17 June. Néstor Lorenzo's side qualified by finishing third in CONMEBOL qualifying on 4 September 2025, and Suárez has earned his place as a striker in form at club level.

Playing Style
Suárez is a centre-forward built on pace and direct running, a striker who threatens in behind and is at his most dangerous in counterattacks and transitions. His finishing has made him a regular scorer at club level.
That direct profile gives Colombia a forward who stretches defences and runs the channels rather than dropping deep to link play. In Lorenzo's 4-3-3, Suárez offers a runner who can lead the line, stretch defences and attack space in transition.
