We are close to finishing 2022 with one of the World Cup matches that was eagerly awaited like Qatar 2022. For the next year, lovers of this beautiful sport will remain focused on what the 2026 Qualifiers will be, a period in which the South American teams will offer us good football.
However, what is not yet completely certain is the date for the start of the 2026 Qualifiers. And now, after not starting in March, everything indicates that it would start in the following months.
For this reason, Alejandro Dominguez, president of Conmebol, emphasized the detail that would be missing for the teams to be able to plan their respective activities for this new qualifying process.
"That depends more on the presidents because the Qualifiers are a FIFA competition, not Conmebol's. There must be a prior consultation with the coaches, especially since after a World Cup many teams have to rebuild everything. Once the 10 presidents agree to start, the Qualifiers can finally begin," Domínguez said from Doha, Qatar for LIBERO.
