Brazil have officially booked their place at the FIFA World Cup 2026

Brazil have officially booked their place at the FIFA World Cup 2026 following a narrow but vital 1-0 home win over Paraguay on Tuesday night.

The result sees Carlo Ancelotti's side climb to third in the South American qualifying table with 25 points, trailing leaders Argentina by 10. The qualification comes as a relief for fans of the Seleção, who had endured a turbulent campaign marked by inconsistency and injury concerns.

The match-winner came just before half-time, with Vinícius Júnior striking in the 44th minute. The Real Madrid winger showcased his trademark pace and composure to give Brazil the edge in an otherwise cagey affair.

But what should have been a night of celebration ended with concern: Vinícius was forced off late in the second half after picking up an apparent injury. The extent of the problem remains unclear, but the timing could not be worse for Real Madrid, who are counting on the forward for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.

For Brazil, qualification is now secured — but questions remain over the fitness of one of their brightest stars. For Madridistas, it's a nervous wait ahead.
