"The Paraguay World Cup 2026 squad is shaping up as after failing to qualify for the last three World Cup tournaments, the former finals regulars return to the big stage. Paraguay started their World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign with one point from their first three matches but home wins against both Argentina and Brazil helped to pave the path north for the World Cup."
"Paraguay are skippered by Palmeiras captain Gustavo Gomez, a former AC Milan centre-back with more than 85 senior international caps and league titles in Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil on his CV. Julio Enciso, the talented young attacking midfielder who joined BlueCo and Strasbourg from Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer of 2025, scored three goals in Paraguay's qualification campaign."
Paraguay returned to the 2026 World Cup after missing the previous three tournaments. The qualifying campaign began with one point from three matches, but home wins against Argentina and Brazil turned the campaign around. Paraguay secured the final automatic CONMEBOL qualification place, finishing one point behind Ecuador after 18 qualifying matches and eight points clear of Bolivia, which went to the confederation play-off. Key players include captain Gustavo Gomez, Julio Enciso who scored three qualification goals, Miguel Almiron now at Atlanta United, and Premier League-based defenders Omar Alderete, Diego Gomez and Diego Leon. The November squad lists three goalkeepers and a mix of domestic and international-based defenders and midfielders.
