Uruguay, Colombia and Paraguay secured their spots in the 2026 World Cup on Thursday in the next-to-last round of South American qualifiers. Uruguay and Colombia had 3-0 wins, and Paraguay had a scoreless draw to advance to the global tournament along with already qualified Argentina, Brazil and Ecuador. Peru, which needed wins in the last two rounds to advance, is now out of contention following the loss to Uruguay.

Lucia Topolansky, at 80, reflects on her life and activism after the loss of her husband, former president Mujica. She embraces renewed political engagement despite recent grief.

Venezuela's recent form has improved, highlighted by their 2-0 victory over Bolivia, which gives them confidence going into the qualifier against a strong Uruguay side.
