Arturo Vidal supports Colombia at the World Cup

Chilean footballer Arturo Vidal has found a team to support during the 2026 World Cup. With Chile not participating in the tournament, the 39-year-old player has been cheering for the Colombia national team.

During the match against Portugal, Vidal was spotted at a restaurant surrounded by Colombian fans. He reacted emotionally to every play, even celebrating Davinson Sanchez's goal as if it were his own, shortly before the strike was ruled out.

Vidal's connection to Colombia is deeply personal, as his partner, Sonia Isaza, is from the country. The footballer has visited Colombia several times, including attending special events like the 2025 Cali Fair, where he expressed his admiration for the local culture and hospitality.
