On Colombia's current U.S. trip for the September FIFA break, the squad has included stars such as David Ospina (Arsenal), Davidson Sanchez (Tottenham), Juan Cuadrado (Juventus), and Radamel Falcao (Monaco).

Costa Rica's World Cup run included tough group stage matches against Brazil, Serbia, and Switzerland. The Ticos finished second in Concacaf qualifying to make their fourth World Cup appearance in Russia. Costa Rica is led on the field by Keylor Navas (Real Madrid), Joel Campbell (Frosinone), Johan Venegas (Saprissa) and Bryan Ruiz (Santos).

Since opening in 2010, Red Bull Arena has been a destination for international friendlies, including appearances by the United States Men's & Women's National team, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador and Peru, in addition to numerous top club sides from around the world.
