The Guaraníes host the Cafeteros at the Defensores del Chaco stadium.

Paraguay is set to welcome Colombia on the sixth match day of the 2026 South American Qualifiers. Playing at Defensores del Chaco, both teams arrive with something to prove: one eyeing the top of the table and the other aiming to solidify a strong start for the campaign. The venue is steeped in football history, and this matchup is being watched closely by fans across the region as it could tilt the early standings in either direction.

The Guaraníes arrive after a goalless draw with Chile on day five, a result that also featured a red card for Robert Rojas. Under the guidance of Daniel Garnero, Paraguay sits seventh in the standings with five points, hoping that a home result can spark momentum and lift spirits ahead of a demanding schedule.

Meanwhile, the Cafeteros come into the clash on the back of a 2-1 victory over Brazil in their most recent encounter, a match highlighted by a double from Luis Díaz. Led by Nestor Lorenzo, Colombia sits third in the table with nine points, and this trip to Asunción offers a chance to extend that cushion and continue building confidence in the squad’s build-up to the rest of the qualifiers.
