Paraguay 2026 World Cup Stats
Paraguay return to the World Cup for the first time since 2010 and will be eager to remind supporters of their reputation as one of South America’s toughest competitors. Known for defensive resilience and relentless determination, the Red and Whites have rebuilt impressively under Gustavo Alfaro. Their qualification campaign showcased the organisation and discipline that have long been hallmarks of Paraguayan football.
Midfielder Miguel Almiron remains the team’s leading attacking threat and most experienced creative player. Defender Omar Alderete provides leadership at the back, while young midfielder Diego Gómez has emerged as one of the most exciting talents in the national setup. His energy, technical quality and versatility make him a player to watch throughout the tournament.
Paraguay battled through the demanding CONMEBOL qualification process to secure a long-awaited return to the World Cup. Their success was built on consistency and an ability to grind out results against stronger opponents. While they may not be among the World Cup betting favourites, Paraguay’s competitive nature and tournament experience make them a side capable of causing surprises in North America.
