## Venues

Colombia presented the cities of Bogotá, Villavicencio, Bucaramanga, Cúcuta, Ibagué and Neiva as host cities when they bid to host the tournament. After an inspection meeting in October 2014, four stadiums were confirmed, with Neiva allowed an extension to finish works, before being removed as a venue later that month.
Confirmation of the four host cities were presented to the Colombian Football Federation and FIFA on 11 November. Medellín then replaced Villavicencio. 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.
