    Always thought it was Colombia. Seeing both spellings all over the place and now I can't decide.

    Definitely Colombia.... the other spelling is used more for certain geographical places in the USA.

    Colombia, the country.

    Columbia, the university.

    I have a guide to either the 1970 or '74 World Cup in which it is spelt 'Columbia.' That spelling is now seen as archaic, I think.

    Edit: I am wrong about the book. It mentions 'Rumania' and not 'Columbia...'

    100% Colombia as per sister in law who is married to a Colombian and lives in Colombia.
    It's never been Columbia.
