The bronze medal match is scheduled for 18:00 local time (17:00 WAT) at Stadion Miejski ŁKS Łódź, one day before the final between Spain and North Korea.
Italy reached the semi-finals after an impressive run that included a penalty shoot-out victory over China in the Round of 16 and a strong quarter-final win against South Korea. Their campaign ended with a 0-2 defeat to Spain in the last four, but the Azzurrine have already exceeded expectations by reaching this stage.
Colombia also produced a memorable tournament. They eliminated hosts Poland in the Round of 16 and edged past Nigeria with a dramatic late goal in the quarter-finals before falling 0-3 to defending champions North Korea in the semi-finals.
For both teams, the third-place match offers a chance to secure a podium finish and positive momentum heading into future competitions. Italy will be aiming for their best-ever result at this level, while Colombia will look to build on their strong showing in Poland.
The encounter is expected to be competitive, with both sides possessing quality and the motivation to finish the tournament with a victory.
