The Colombian launch is being supported by Colombian publishing House Grupo Editorial Semana.

According to Spain’s Unidad Editorial, the publisher of Marca, it has chosen Colombia as the first country to expand in Latin America  because:

– Colombia has a large number of sports fans, and Spanish football fans.
– Colombia has demonstrated its strength as a country: 4% sustained growth in the last decade, and it is the second country, after Brazil, with the largest foreign investment in the region.

The editorial staff is based in Bogota with 38 journalists.
