The table of South American Qualifiers 2026 could have a significant variation if the FIFA makes the decision to sanction three teams. And according to information from the media “Redgol de Chile”, the highest entity in world football could deduct points from Peru, Argentina and Brazil because they are accused of having carried out acts of discrimination and racism on the last date of qualifying.
This possible loss of points has generated special attention in Chile, who are excited about the 2026 World Cup in Mexico, the United States and Canada.
“Chile pay attention! FIFA warns Argentina, Brazil and Peru: There may be a loss of points”, title the note that generated various reactions. “They opened a file and began an investigation, in order to determine responsibilities for the events that occurred in both duels (Argentina vs Brazil and Peru vs Venezuela),” they explain.
Redgol publication.
This Chilean media emphasizes that the brawl that took place at the Maracaná over the duel between ‘Scratch’ and ‘Albiceleste’, as well as the confrontation between police and fans, is similar to what happened at the National Stadium, in the match between the peruvian team in front of the ‘Vinotinto’.
Among their arguments for deducting points, they mention article 15 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code in which they specify “sanctions against discrimination are mentioned, ranging from the implementation of a prevention plan, a fine, the reduction of points, the playing of one or more matches behind closed doors”.
Furthermore, they recognize that this would be a benefit for Chile, which is not going through a good moment so far in the Qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup, where only 6 dates were played.
“If it is proven that these three countries fall into this regulation, it could generate a new panorama in the South American Qualifiers, where one of the beneficiaries of a possible reduction of units would be the Chilean team, which today is eighth with just five points,” reads in Redgol.
Who will be the new coach of the Chilean team?
After the resignation of Eduardo Berizzo due to the irregular results in the first days of the 2026 Qualifiers, Pablo Milad, president of the National Professional Football Association (ANFP) revealed that Ricardo Gareca is one of the candidates to lead ‘La Roja’ and He filled him with praise.
“He is a man who has a lot of experience, but we are working calmly, analyzing with the technical bodies and the work bodies that we propose to find the best option for Chile,” he told ADN Deportes.
In what position is Chile in the 2026 Qualifiers?
The Chilean team is in eighth place in the 2026 South American Qualifiers with five points, just like Paraguay, located in the playoff zone, but with a smaller point difference.
