Camilo Mena earns first Colombia national team call-up

Korona Kielce forward Camilo Mena has received his first-ever call-up to the Colombia senior national team. Head coach Néstor Lorenzo included the 24-year-old in the squad for the upcoming FIFA window matches against Chile.

Mena began his professional career at Tigres in Colombia before moving to Deportivo Pereira and later pursuing opportunities in European football. His journey abroad included spells with Valmiera in Latvia, followed by time in Poland with Jagiellonia Bialystok and Lechia Gdansk.

During his two-year stint with Lechia, Mena made 92 appearances, contributing 15 goals and 28 assists. This form earned him a move to the Polish first division with Korona Kielce for the 2026/27 season. In the current campaign, he has recorded 4 goals and 4 assists in 13 matches, while maintaining high metrics in dribbling and duel success rates.

Prior to this, Mena's only international experience was a call-up to the Colombia U-20 side in 2020. He now aims to impress Néstor Lorenzo and secure a role in the manager's ongoing squad renewal project.
