Soccer: Paraguay and Peru face off in the Eliminatories 2026
The Paraguay and Peru national teams will face each other this Thursday, September 7, in the match valid for the first matchday of the Eliminatories 2026. From the Antonio Aranda Stadium in Ciudad del Este, led by Juan Reynoso, they will go in search of their first three points.
With the official list of summoned players, the Paraguayan team announced the presence of several of its stars, one of the most important being the attacker Miguel Almirón, who currently plays for Newcastle in the Premier League 2023/24.
An important fact to consider is that the Paraguayan footballer is the most valuable player in the squad of Argentine coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto. According to the prestigious website Transfemarkt, Almirón is valued at 32 million euros.
This valuation is very close to the current squad of the 'Blanquirroja', which, according to the value page, reaches a value of 39.30 million euros. Meanwhile, players Luis Abram and Raúl Ruidíaz are the ones with the highest price (3 million) in the national team.
