Venues

Colombia presented the cities of Bogotá, Villavicencio, Bucaramanga, Cúcuta, Ibagué and Neiva as the venue cities, when they bid to host the tournament.^[12] After an inspection meeting in October 2014, four stadiums were confirmed, with Neiva allowed an extension to finish works,^[13] before being removed as a venue later that month.^[14]

Confirmation of the four host cities were presented to the Colombian Football Federation and FIFA on 11 November.^[15] Medellín then replaced Villavicencio.^[16] A further inspection in January 2016 saw the removal of Ibagué as a host, meaning half of the cities in the initial bids proposal are confirmed, with the three remaining cites scheduled to accommodate two groups per stadia.^[17]
