Preview: Paraguay Vs Brazil
Paraguay take on Brazil in a crucial World Cup qualifier.
Brazil head into this crucial CONMEBOL qualifier at the Neo Química Arena under fresh leadership from Carlo Ancelotti, who will be celebrating his birthday on match day, June 10. After a subdued 0‑0 draw with Ecuador to kick off his tenure — hampered, Ancelotti says, by pitch conditions and fatigue — Brazil are eager for a spark. The return of Raphinha and the chance to integrate Vinícius Jr.’s club form could breathe new life into an attack that looked blunt in Guayaquil
Paraguay, meanwhile, arrive in São Paulo brimming with confidence. A 2‑0 win over Uruguay extended their unbeaten run to nine matches, and they currently sit two points above Brazil in the standings.They claimed a surprise 1‑0 victory over Brazil in their last qualifier, and though Brazil are favorites, Paraguay’s resolute defending and midfield discipline make them a serious threat .
About FIFA World Cup Qualifiers - CONMEBOL:
History
The South American section of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification will act as qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be held in Canada, the United States, and Mexico for national teams who are members of CONMEBOL. A total of 6 direct slots in the final tournament and 1 inter-confederation play-off slot are available for CONMEBOL teams.
CONMEBOL was the first confederation to begin its qualification process for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with Paraguay–Peru being the first match of the global qualification process.
On 22 August 2022, CONMEBOL sent a request to FIFA asking to keep the current qualification format that has been used since the 1998 World Cup qualification in South America. This was confirmed, with the first games of the qualifiers tentatively to be played in March or June 2023.
On 27 February 2023, CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez announced that the qualifiers would start in September 2023, which was ratified by the CONMEBOL Council in the run-up to the 73rd FIFA Congress held on 16 March in Kigali, Rwanda.
Prior to the commencement of the qualification competition, Ecuador were deducted 3 points for the use of a document containing false information for Byron Castillo in the previous World Cup qualification cycle.
