Colombian sport is currently experiencing the best period in its history for several reasons: the great impact it achieved at the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro; the good performance of the national football team at the last World Cup in Brazil in 2014; their qualification for the present Russia 2018 World Cup; and the exploits of the Colombian cyclists in the World Tour road races. Following this international recognition, the Colombian government has decided to back sport as one of its economic standards and engines, with a planned investment of $169.3 million.
With the recent incorporation of Colombia, there are now 12 countries in which Johan Cruyff Institute has a representation, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, El Salvador, Ecuador, Guatemala, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay and Venezuela.
