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.
On Wednesday, Brazilian police arrested three men who used a drone to spy during a training session being carried out by the national team as Dorival Junior’s prepare for their qualifiers in the city of Curitiba (Ecuador at home and then away tot Paraguay).
One of the detained individuals is Brazilian, another Venezuelan and the third Ecuadorian, although he claimed to be Colombian.
Brazil will aim to turn around its recent struggles when it hosts Ecuador in 2026 World Cup qualifying.
The Seleção enter Friday's game in Curitiba behind Ecuador in the CONMEBOL table, and that is even with a three-point penalty for La Tricolor for fielding an ineligible player.
Brazil underwhelmed at the Copa América this summer, winning just one group-stage game before losing on penalties to Uruguay in the quarterfinal. Ecuador got out of its group and nearly pulled off the shock of the tournament in the quarterfinal, but lost to Argentina on penalties after finding a late equalizer in regulation.asdasd
