However, it was announced today that Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay will also be exempt from qualifying.
It means that “three of the six places” allotted to the South American zone in 2030 will be taken in a tournament that has already grown from 32 teams to 48 teams for the 2026 championships, according to a FIFA spokeswoman.
A South American team will also have the opportunity to qualify for a playoff with a team from Europe.
Kanyidaily recalls that Argentina Beats France, Wins FIFA World Cup in 2022.
