Paraguay World Cup 2026 Form and Qualifying Results
Paraguay's last five completed internationals include L 1-2 vs Morocco, W 1-0 vs Greece and W 2-1 vs Mexico. Paraguay have 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses across their last 5 completed matches. Form helps, but friendlies, qualifiers and tournament matches are not the same test.
Recent form source: historical international results. Results are used as a form reference and may differ from federation-specific archives.
Paraguay World Cup 2026 Squad, Fixtures and Group
Paraguay share Group D with USA, Türkiye, Australia, Germany and France. FIFA history records list 8 previous World Cup appearances before 2026. Gustavo Alfaro is the head coach for this World Cup cycle. They are #40 in the FIFA Men's World Ranking and have room to climb during the tournament.
Miguel Almiron, Roberto Fernandez and Julio Enciso give the list some familiar starting points for the active tournament roster. By position, there are 8 defenders, 7 midfielders and 8 attackers, so attacking depth is the first area to compare. The names are read against the actual group schedule, not treated as a final squad announcement.
With matches spread across Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, Boston and Philadelphia, recovery time matters almost as much as the opponent order. Paraguay open against USA on Jun 13, 2026 at Los Angeles Stadium in Los Angeles. The 26-player list is the squad base, with injuries, registration changes and matchday availability still worth checking. The complete final squad registration is confirmed and verified against official matches.

Paraguay World Cup 2026 Opponent Analysis
Paraguay face USA, Türkiye, Australia, Germany and France in Group D. By FIFA ranking, France look like the toughest test, but a three-match group still rewards consistency against every side.
USA
USA are the opening group opponent for Paraguay, with the match set for Jun 13, 2026 at Los Angeles Stadium in Los Angeles. FIFA rank #16 is a useful marker, but the match will still come down to availability, tempo and set-piece control.
Türkiye
Türkiye are the second group opponent for Paraguay, with the match set for Jun 20, 2026 at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium in San Francisco Bay Area. FIFA rank #22 is a useful marker, but the match will still come down to availability, tempo and set-piece control.
Australia
Australia are the third group opponent for Paraguay, with the match set for Jun 26, 2026 at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium in San Francisco Bay Area. FIFA rank #27 is a useful marker, but the match will still come down to availability, tempo and set-piece control.
Germany
Germany are the third group opponent for Paraguay, with the match set for Jun 29, 2026 at Boston Stadium in Boston. FIFA rank #10 is a useful marker, but the match will still come down to availability, tempo and set-piece control.
France
France are the third group opponent for Paraguay, with the match set for Jul 4, 2026 at Philadelphia Stadium in Philadelphia. FIFA rank #1 is a useful marker, but the match will still come down to availability, tempo and set-piece control.
Head-to-head records will be added only when a reliable matchup source is available.
