Bolivia and Paraguay face off in a friendly match in Washington, D.C., to kick-start this international break.

Paraguay is in high spirits after playing in the 2026 World Cup and playing five games. It was Paraguay’s first World Cup appearance since the 2010 edition.

This summer, Paraguay were in Group D with the USMNT, Turkiye, and Australia. Paraguay finished 3rd with four points after one win, one draw, and one loss.

In the Round of 32, Paraguay played Germany; after a 1-1 draw after extra time, Paraguay defeated Germany 4-3 on penalties to reach the Round of 16. Paraguay would then get eliminated by France in the Round of 16 by losing 1-0 in regular time.

Bolivia were a win away from qualifying for the 2026 World Cup as the team was in the FIFA inter-confederation playoffs last March. Bolivia defeated Suriname 2-1 in the semifinal, but in the final qualifier, they lost 2-1 to Iraq in Mexico.
