Atlético Nacional Medellín Women began their Colombian Liga Betplay Femenina campaign with a commanding 3-0 home victory over Fortaleza CEIF FC Women on February 13, 2026. This dominant performance at the start of the season sent a clear message to the league that Nacional are serious title contenders this year. The home side took control early, scoring their first goal from a set-piece within the opening twenty minutes. They doubled their lead just before halftime with a flowing team move, giving them a comfortable cushion. The second half saw Nacional manage the game expertly, adding a third goal on the counter-attack to put the match result beyond any doubt. Fortaleza offered little in response, struggling to break down a well-organized Nacional defense. The comprehensive win provides perfect momentum for Nacional, showcasing a balanced team with both defensive solidity and attacking threat. For newly promoted or struggling Fortaleza, it was a harsh introduction to the level required in the top flight, and they must regroup quickly.
