Paraguay World Cup history
Paraguay are appearing at their ninth World Cup and first since 2010, ending a 16-year absence. Their best run came in 2010, when they reached the quarter-finals for the only time, beating Japan on penalties in the round of 16 before losing 1-0 to eventual champions Spain.
What to know for 2026
- Qualified from CONMEBOL under coach Gustavo Alfaro, who rebuilt the side into a hard-to-beat unit.
- Snapped a three-tournament drought (missed 2014, 2018, 2022), so simply being back is a milestone.
- Expect a pragmatic, counter-attacking team aiming to escape the group.
