The regressive account for the 2026 World Cup enters its final stretch. This Tuesday, Conmebol officially confirmed the dates and schedules of the last two days of the South American Qualifiers, which will be played at the beginning of September. After those games, the six selections that will go directly to the World Cup and the team that will play intercontinental repechage will be defined.
Today, Argentina, Brazil and Ecuador have already secured their ticket. Colombia, meanwhile, continues in a direct classification zone, although you must still finish the task on the double final date against Bolivia and Venezuela.
Everything will be played almost at the same time
With the intention of guaranteeing the sports Fair Play, Conmebol ordered that the encounters that can change the classification panorama are played simultaneously. Thus, on Thursday, September 4, for Day 17, Colombia will receive Bolivia at the Barranquilla Metropolitan Stadium at 6:30 pm (local time). At that same time the ball will shoot in three key duels: Uruguay vs. Peru, Paraguay vs. Ecuador and Argentina vs. Venezuela. The only game that will be played later that day will be Brazil vs. Chile, scheduled for 7:30 pm
Days later, on Tuesday, September 9, the selection led by Néstor Lorenzo will visit Venezuela at the Maturín Monumental Stadium, again at 6:30 pm at that time the Peru vs. matches will also be played. Paraguay, Chile vs. Uruguay and Bolivia vs. Brazil. Ecuador vs. Argentina will start a little earlier, at 6:00 pm
What Colombia needs
The situation in Colombia is relatively favorable: with a victory against Bolivia at home, the coffee team would ensure mathematically its place in the World Cup. However, the closure of the tie is not exempt from pressure, especially for recent ups and downs that generated rumors about a possible technical change. Despite those versions, the president of the Colombian Football Federation, Ramón Jesurun, ratified that, if the team achieves the classification, Néstor Lorenzo will continue to be the coach at the World Cup event.
