Preview: Chile Vs Brazil
Both teams can’t afford to lose this one:
Brazil will restart their CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers against Chile. The Seleção are in a difficult situation as they sit in fifth place on the qualifiers table. They have three wins, one draw, and four losses in their opening eight matches.
As things stand, the Brazil national team are just a point away from falling out of the qualification zone. They will face Chile in their next game who are currently in the 9th spot.
La Roja are having one of their worst World Cup qualifying campaigns. They have already lost on five occasions and have only tasted victory once. The national team are under a serious threat of missing out on the FIFA World Cup for the third time in a row.
The manager, Ricardo Gareca, will have a tough task at hand. He has to get a win against Brazil to get his team’s qualification hopes back on track. This game will also have the typical South American football traits of high intensity and physicality. Both teams will be eager to win this game which will make this clash unmissable.

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.
