The Palmeiras was represented by six of its players during this FIFA Date: Gustavo Gómez and Ramón Sosa (Paraguay), Emiliano Martínez and Joaquin Piquerez (Uruguay), Flaco López (Argentina), and Andreas Pereira (Brazil). Only the Paraguayans took the field in the last round of the South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

Gómez and Sosa

Both Palmeiras players were starters for the team coached by Gustavo Alfaro in the 1-0 away victory over Peru. Both Gómez and Sosa stayed on the field for the entire game and had discreet performances. Matías Galarza, a former Vasco player, scored the winning goal.

Flaco López

Called up for the first time in his career by the Argentine National Team, Flaco López was on the bench in the 1-0 loss to Ecuador after being cut from the 3-0 victory over Venezuela in Buenos Aires. This was not the time for the forward to debut with his country's jersey.

Andreas Pereira

Emergency called by Carlo Ancelotti after Kaio Jorge's injury, Palmeiras' newest signing traveled to El Alto to watch from the bench as Brazil lost 1-0 to Bolivia. The result sent the Bolivians to the playoffs and eliminated Venezuela from the competition.
