Podcast: Football in Colombia

We’re joined by Medellín-based football writer, Simon Edwards, who’s spent a decade living in Colombia and exploring its football scene.

Starting in Medellín, we explore the clubs and massively varied culture of Colombia and its football scene.

We learn about a country that’s opening up to tourists and discuss why the country has produced so many larger-than-life characters.
