JAKARTA - The 2026 World Cup Qualification round for the South American zone or Conmebol will present a classic party full of prestige between Uruguay and Brazil. Both teams will fight at the Centenario Stadium, Montevideo, Wednesday, October 18 at 07.00 WIB.

Uruguay currently ranks fourth in the standings with a collection of four points. While Brazil is in second place with seven points, behind Argentina.

Both teams are determined to win in order to improve their rankings and secure tickets to qualify for the 2026 World Cup finals. The match was also confirmed to be hot and full of prestige to see Uruguay appear as the collector of two World Cup trophies against Brazil which have a collection of five trophies.

Both Uruguay and Brazil have less qualified capital ahead of the match. The reason is that Brazil has just been held to a draw 1-1 Venezuela. While Uruguay also drew 2-2 against Colombia.

If you look at the records throughout the qualifying round, Uruguay is fairly inconsistent because after winning 3-1 over Chile, they lost to Ecuador and drew in the last match.

Meanwhile, Brazil, who came as the visitors, had a glimmer of hope that was brought to Uruguay's headquarters. The Samba team started the qualifying campaign with a 5-1 win over Bolivia, before beating Peru 1-0 and finally being detained by Venezuela.

So far, Brazil has been recorded as the most successful team in World Cup history because it has lifted trophies five times. However, Brazil struggled to impress since the last time they won this competition in 2002.

Brazil were eliminated in the quarter-finals in 2006 and 2010 before finishing fourth in 2014, but later failed to qualify past the quarter-finals in 2018 and 2022.
