These are the players who will be in the "Let's Lift Up Colombia" match for the earthquake victims: Falcao, Cuadrado and several other stars

Former Colombian defender Mario Yepes is organizing a charity football match titled “Levantemos a Colombia,” scheduled for August 21 at the Nemesio Camacho El Campín stadium. The event will feature prominent football figures, including Radamel Falcao and Juan Cuadrado, to raise funds for families impacted by the earthquake that occurred on August 10, 2026.

Beyond the sporting initiative, the earthquake has prompted significant private sector involvement, with businesses contributing over 550,000 million pesos in aid. This relief effort has become a subject of political discourse, as Representative Daniel Briceño has utilized the scale of these private donations to criticize the former director of the National Unit for Disaster Risk Management (Ungrd).
