Venezuela or Bolivia To Claim CONMEBOL’s Last Playoff Berth Today

The seventh-place finisher enters FIFA’s new six-team intercontinental event in Mexico next March.

Overview

  • Venezuela clinches the repechaje with a victory over Colombia in Maturín.
  • Bolivia must beat Brazil at 4,090 meters in El Alto and also needs Venezuela to fail to win.
  • The decisive matches kick off simultaneously, with Venezuela one point ahead entering the final round.
  • If the teams finish level on points, Venezuela’s far superior goal difference (-7 to -19) would secure seventh.
  • The seventh-place team advances to a March 2026 mini-tournament in Monterrey and Guadalajara, where FIFA rankings set seeding and could allow a higher-ranked side to skip a semifinal.
