The World Cup is being played in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and Palmeiras has seven representatives across four different national teams. After making their debut in the first week, the Verdão players begin the third round of the group stage.
Scorer of one of Paraguay’s goals in this World Cup, Maurício could earn a spot in the starting lineup for the decisive match against Australia, with qualification for the next stage of the tournament on the line. The midfielder found the net in the 4-1 loss to the United States, scoring Paraguay’s only goal in the team’s opening match of the competition.
After the defeat to the Americans, the Guaraní national team bounced back with a 1-0 win over Turkey and heads into the final round still alive in the fight for a place in the knockout stage. Against the Australians, Paraguay will look to confirm its recovery and keep dreaming at the 2026 World Cup.
Palmeiras has seven players called up for the World Cup: Mauricio, Gustavo Gómez, and Ramón Sosa for Paraguay; Flaco López for Argentina; Emiliano Martínez and Joaquin Piquerez for Uruguay; and Jhon Arias for Colombia.
