WCQ - CONMEBOL News

Concacaf president Victor Montagliani has joined other confederations in opposing the proposal of CONMEBOL leader Alejandro Domínguez to expand the World Cup to 64 teams for the 2030 edition of the international tournament.

The president of South American soccer's ruling body CONMEBOL made an official proposal on Thursday to expand the men's 2030 World Cup from 32 teams to 64.

Brazil has dismissed head coach Dorival Júnior following Tuesday's deflating loss to rivals Argentina, Brazil's Football Confederation (CBF) announced Friday.

On "Futbol Americas", Gustavo Hofman explains Brazil's options for a new manager should they decide to part with Dorival Júnior.

With four games left until the end of the CONMEBOL qualifiers, what are the big questions hanging over South American teams on their quest to reach the 2026 World Cup?
