The Argentina national team has officially secured its qualification for the 2026 World Cup after Uruguay drew with Bolivia 0-0 in a match that took place during the 14th round of the South American qualifiers for the World Cup.

The match was held at the El Alto Stadium in Bolivia, under challenging conditions due to the high altitude and lack of oxygen, which affected the players' performance. The first half ended in a goalless draw, and the situation remained the same until the final whistle, with no goals scored.

Ronald Araújo, the Barcelona defender, did not participate in the match and remained on the bench, while Darwin Núñez, the Liverpool striker, came on as a substitute at the start of the second half.

With this result, Uruguay raised its points tally to 21, placing them in fourth position, while Bolivia reached 14 points in seventh place.

Argentina was the biggest beneficiary of this draw, as it officially secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup, regardless of the outcome of its upcoming match against Brazil.
