Qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup resumes in South America, with Argentina and Uruguay leading the way at the top of the standings after six games.
Brazil surprisingly languish in sixth place having only racked up seven points from two wins and a draw in their opening six games and will be looking to amend matters when Ecuador are the visitors to the Estadio Major Antônio Couto Pereira (Curitiba) on Friday.
Ecuador’s La Tricolor sit one place above Brazil with both teams expected to secure one of the top six places in the ten team table that grants an automatic spot at the 2026 World Cup.
There is also the possible consolation of a seventh place finish which would open the back door to progressing to the Mexico, Canada and US co-hosted competition via an intercontinental play-off with the 2026 World Cup the first of its kind to feature 48 participating nations.
