It is the first of two big games against South American opposition for Luis de la Fuente’s side, who also battle Brazil in Madrid on Tuesday evening.
La Roja’s stars will be eager to press their claims for selection for Euro 2024, where they are among the strong favourites despite being placed in a difficult Group B alongside defending champions Italy, perennial dark horses Croatia and surprise package Albania.
Spain lost just once en route to topping qualification Group A, against Scotland in Glasgow, and rounded things off with two comfortable 3-1 wins over Cyprus and Georgia respectively in November.
They will have to step things up against Colombia, who are continuing their preparations for this summer’s Copa America in the United States, where they are in Group D along with Brazil, Paraguay and either Costa Rica or Honduras.
Nestor Lorenzo’s team were last in action in December, when they edged out Mexico in Los Angeles and Venezuela in Florida in a pair of US-based friendlies.
