The main thing is except for Seleçao. If he did not reassure himself, three days after his sad draw in Ecuador (0-0), Brazil ensured the minimum union on Tuesday by winning 1-0 against Paraguay. A victory acquired on a goal scored by Vinicius just before the break.
Building on this success, Brazil has validated its qualification for the 2026 World Cup. With now 25 points on the clock, Carlo Ancelotti's men went back to third in the AMSUD zone classification and are now assured of winning one of the first six places, synonyms for direct qualification for the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The site is nonetheless immense for Carlo Ancelotti, who celebrated his 66 on Tuesdaye Birthday and was also greeted by a tifo “Happy Birthday Carletto” for his very first home game. The Brazilians certainly dominated the debates, multiplying the offensives, but they were too technically imprecise to reassure themselves fully.
Thirteen countries now qualified for the 2026 World Cup
Brazil was not the only country to win its qualification for the 2026 World Cup on Tuesday. It was indeed imitated by the Ecuador, yet forced to draw (0-0) in Peru. A choice of choice for the 'Tricolor' which had indeed started the qualifiers for the World Cup with three penalty points.
In total, 13 nations are now qualified for the US World Cup, which will take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026 in three countries (United States, Canada and Mexico) in a format extended to 48 teams. In addition to the three host countries, Japan, Argentina, Iran, New Zealand, Uzbekistan, Jordan, South Korea, Australia and Brazil and Ecuador are qualified.
