Preview: Brazil Vs Uruguay
The Selecao will lock horns against La Celeste in matchday 12 of FIFA World Cup Qualifiers:
An interesting challenge for Brazil comes up on Wednesday as they will face Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. Brazil have failed to ease the pressure on Dorival Junior in recent matches, winning just five of their eleven matches in qualification for the 2026 World Cup. Recently, Brazil failed to overcome Venezuela as the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Vinicius Jr was criticised for missing the penalty for the Selecao. Despite their recent struggles, they are capable of winning against Uruguay.
Marcelo Bielsa’s men will be confident going into this fixture as they defeated the last edition of Copa America’s finalist Columbia by 3-2. They are second in the table with 19 points on the board. Uruguay have achieved recent success against Brazil, as they eliminated them from Copa America. Fans can expect this fixture to be an intense one for sure.

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.
