along with carlos valderrama, the country's most capped player, mondragón is the only colombian to have participated in five fifa world cup qualification campaigns. in 2010, he was recalled to the colombian squad at the age of 39 after a five-year absence from international football. in 2014, he was named in colombia's squad for the 2014 fifa world cup, making him the oldest player at the tournament, and in world cup history, at the age of 43, and the only squad member at the 1994 fifa world cup. he is also the only player to have participated in 6 different world cup qualifying campaigns since 1993. by coming on as a substitute in the 85th minute of the final group game against japan on 24 june 2014, he became the oldest player ever to play in a world cup game at the age of 43 years and 3 days old, surpassing the record set by roger milla for cameroon at the 1994 world cup. mondragón gave a very emotional interview afterwards, expressing his gratitude to have been given the opportunity to represent colombia one last time at a world cup. his record for oldest player in world cup history was broken four years later at the 2018 world cup by 45-year-old egyptian goalkeeper essam el-hadary.
