VL International 82 was a football tournament held in Bogotá, Colombia in 1982. The tournament was organized by the Colombian Football Federation and featured teams from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay. The tournament was played in a round-robin format with each team playing each other once. The top two teams at the end of the tournament would qualify for the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain. The tournament was won by Argentina, who finished with a record of four wins, one draw, and one loss. Brazil finished second, with three wins, two draws, and one loss. Colombia finished third, with two wins, two draws, and two losses. Mexico and Peru finished fourth and fifth respectively, while Uruguay finished last with one win, three draws, and two losses. The tournament was an important event in the history of Colombian football, as it marked the first time that a Colombian team had qualified for the World Cup since 1962. It was also the first time that a South American team had won the tournament since 1966. The tournament was also significant for the development of the Colombian national team. The team had been in a period of decline since the mid-1970s and the tournament provided them with a chance to prove themselves on the international stage. The team went on to reach the second round of the World Cup, where they were eliminated by eventual champions Italy. The tournament was also the first time that a Colombian team had competed in a major international tournament since the 1960s. It was a major boost for the country’s footballing reputation and provided a platform for the team to build on in the future.
