(Reuters) - Missing the Women's World Cup in 2019 was a huge setback for Colombia but the South Americans are determined to go deep at this year's tournament playing an exciting brand of football, midfielder Daniela Montoya said.

Colombia will make their third World Cup appearance in Australia and New Zealand, having been knocked out in the group stage in 2011 and the round of 16 four years later.
