Preview: Uruguay Vs Ecuador
The Seleção are undefeated in their last five meetings against Peru:
The round ten action of the Conmebol World Cup Qualifiers will take place between South American giants Brazil and mighty Peru. It is a brilliant chance for both nations to finish the October qualifiers on a winning note before the next set begins in November.
Brazil, considered among the powerhouses of world football, have somewhat faded in the last couple of years with their performance looking far from convincing from what we used to see. However, Dorival Junior for now has somehow managed to turn the table as the Seleção find themselves in the fourth position in the overall standings. A win here will further see them maintain a strong grip on the table before the next set of qualifiers takes place in November.
Meanwhile, Peru on the other hand pulled a surprise in the last game against the imposing Uruguay outfit who were in red-hot form before that game. Jorge Fossati and his team need to be credited for not just preventing them from scoring but also registering a crucial win over them. This win not only gave the team a glimmer of hope but also boosted the confidence within the squad.
They now will aim to climb up the standings in the next matches. Peru are currently languishing in the ninth position in the overall standings. .

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 is 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.
The qualification structure remains the same as in previous editions, despite the increase of slots available to CONMEBOL teams, wherein each team plays each other team twice in a home-and-away round-robin format.
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.
