Paraguay Hub
Paraguay's national football team, led by Gustavo Alfaro, advanced to the Round of 16 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Paraguayan team trained on Friday waiting for a classification that was confirmed at the last hour.
What happened?
The Paraguayan classification was given with the suspense of a Hollywood movie. The dull 0-0 draw against Australia on Thursday in Group D left the Albirroja with four points and the bitter obligation to take out the calculator.
Why is it important for Paraguay?
The Guaraní mystique is more alive than ever, beyond a outcome not suitable for cardiacs. Perhaps it was not in the most luxurious way, but -even with a calculator in hand- the main objective was achieved.
What comes next?
With the suffering in the rearview mirror, now comes the real challenge: on Monday, June 29, from 17:30 (Argentine time), the appointment will be against the always fearsome Germany at the Gillette Stadium in Boston.
| Date | Match | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 2025-11-19 | Mexico - Paraguay | 1-2 |
Paraguay comes from a streak of 2 consecutive victories, after an irregular start in their last series of 5 games (2W-0D-3L). Miguel Almirón has already served his suspension and will return to contribute his speed in the attack.
