How will the Conmebol Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup be played?
At first, it should be remembered that Fifa changed the number of countries participating in the orbital event and has increased those selected from 32 to 48 in contention for the maximum football title between national teams. Given this scenario, there is also a change in the distribution of quotas and for Conmebol there are more places among the same 10 countries as always.
Hay six direct quotas and one to the repechage, then a league type round-robin phase will be played, with two rounds, with home and away matches. According to the international calendar, play will start in September 2023 and everything will be defined in October 2025.
The first 6 located in the standings will earn a direct place in the World Cup, while the seventh will have to play a repechage or repechage to get into the 48 classifieds. So there are more possibilities, and that, directly, there will only be three eliminated after playing the 18 planned dates.
