Argentina has qualified for the 2026 World Cup, but the race for spots in CONMEBOL is tight, with just three points separating Colombia in the sixth position from Ecuador in second. Brazil and Uruguay’s struggles have made this qualification round more competitive than usual.
With Carlo Ancelotti making his debut as Brazil’s head coach, the dynamics of the team are still forming, particularly noted during a goalless draw against Ecuador. He aims to optimize key players like Raphinha and Vinicius Jr.
Venezuela, seeking its first World Cup appearance, is currently seventh and involved in a tight race, just one point above Bolivia, which last qualified for the World Cup in 1994.
