Paraguay on the road to the Women’s Adult World Cup. The team coached by Marizza Faria is preparing for the World Cup to be held in the Netherlands and Germany.
The Paraguayan national team will make its fifth presentation in World Cups in the adult women’s category. Paraguay has participated in 2007, 2013, 2017 and 2023.
Qualifying course
The Paraguayan women have been showing sustained growth in the women’s national teams. At the Pan American Games held in Santiago 2023, they won the bronze medal.
During 2024 they were also present in the pre-Olympic for the first time. In addition, they played the South Central American Championship in the city of Niteroi, which left them in fourth place in the ranking.
That position gave them the possibility of playing in the playoffs for the World Cup along with Colombia and Peru. Finally, Paraguay won the ticket and will be present at the World Cup in the Netherlands and Germany.
