Overview

• Argentina have already sealed first place and a 2026 World Cup berth, turning the night into a ceremonial send‑off confirmed by Messi as his last official match in the country.
• Midfield changes are set as Enzo Fernández serves a two‑match CONMEBOL suspension and Alexis Mac Allister is expected on the bench after limited training.
• CONMEBOL coordinated four 20:30 kickoffs across the region, with Brazil vs. Chile at 21:30 to protect competitive balance.
• If Argentina beat Venezuela, Uruguay, Paraguay and Colombia would clinch the remaining direct World Cup places, leaving only the intercontinental playoff berth to settle.
• Uruguay vs. Peru begins at 20:30 in Montevideo with Facundo Tello refereeing and streaming on TyC Sports Play, and Peru must win out and rely on other results to have a playoff chance.
