After 16 years outside the cups, the Paraguayan team won the place for the 2026 World Cup and President Santiago decreed a holiday.
The ball rolled and the Paraguay returned to the largest phase of world football. After 16 years outside the cups, the Paraguayan team won the place for the 2026 World Cup and won a holiday to celebrate the historical feat. The announcement was made by President Santiago Peña, who decreed the break on Friday 5 September, one day after confirmation of the classification.
The tie without networks with Ecuador, in Asuncion, Thursday (4), guaranteed the return of the paraguards to the World Cup. The vacant place came with the help of Argentina, who beat Venezuela 3-0 and brought the Venezuelans outside the dispute. With the result, Albirroja was sixth in South American qualifications and could even climb the table in the last round.
The holidays marked not only a date on the calendar, but the end of the long fasting began after the 2010 cup in South Africa, when Paraguay made its last participation.
Now the Paraguasians will return to a world cup that will be based in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
On social networks, President Santiago Peña celebrated the result in an emotional tone:
“It took 16 years from our last qualification … 16 years without listening to our anthem in a world cup. Thanks, Albirroja! Today, Albirroja has returned. He has returned with his soul, the heart and all the Claw Guarani,” he wrote.
Santiago has finished strengthening the importance of achieving the Paraguayan population.
“This is a dream that has become reality for all the paraguasses, so tomorrow is a holiday so that all the paraguasses can celebrate together! We return to the World Cup and celebrate all!”
