Artificial Intelligence predicts which three South American national teams could miss the 2026 FIFA World Cup

After a tense Matchday 15 in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers, artificial intelligence predicted the three national teams most likely to miss out on the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The World Cup qualifiers in CONMEBOL remain fiercely competitive, even with six qualifying spots available. After the 2024 Copa America, the Colombian national team rose to prominence as a top contender. However, they have since stumbled, dropping crucial points. Consequently, the qualification landscape has shifted considerably. In light of these changes, an AI analysis predicts which three CONMEBOL teams are likely to miss the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Bolavip AR turned to ‘Copilot’ for a bold prediction about the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The AI’s forecast stirred the pot with a surprising claim: “If I had to give a strong prediction, I would say that the three South American teams that will be left out of the 2026 World Cup will be Chile, Peru and Bolivia. On the other hand, Venezuela is the team that will go to the playoffs.”

Copilot even added the reasons behind its prediction: “Chile have not shown the necessary consistency and their golden generation is increasingly far from their best level. Meanwhile, Peru have not found solidity in attack and their lack of goals are costing them key points. Finally, Bolivia, although strong in La Paz, have underperformed on the road,” the AI concluded.

CONMEBOL national teams enter a pivotal Matchday 16, which could significantly impact their World Cup qualification futures. Colombia face Argentina, needing the full three points to strengthen their chances. A win is crucial because Venezuela’s potential victory over Uruguay could complicate matters. Such a scenario might push Colombia closer to the playoffs, threatening their World Cup hopes.

Arturo Vidal and Darío Osorio of Chile react during the South of American FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier between Chile and Ecuador at Estadio Nacional de Chile on March 25, 2025 in Santiago, Chile.

Simultaneously, Bolivia’s fixture against Chile presents a pivotal opportunity. A win would bring them within a single point of the playoff spot, provided Venezuela drops points. Therefore, victory is essential for Bolivia to remain contenders in the FIFA World Cup race. As results unfold, they will either confirm or refute predictions, offering a thrilling narrative in the quest for qualification.

CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers: Updated standings ahead of matchday 16

After the results of the games of the 15th date of the CONMEBOL qualifiers, the positions of the classification table had some modifications, leaving two national teams on the verge of the playoffs:

  • Argentina = 34pts
  • Ecuador = 24pts
  • Paraguay = 24pts
  • Brazil = 22pts
  • Uruguay = 21pts
  • Colombia = 21pts
  • Venezuela = 18pts
  • Bolivia = 14pts
  • Peru = 11pts
  • Chile = 10pts

With just three points separating second place from sixth, the upcoming Matchday 16 has the potential to dramatically shake up the standings. The pressure is especially intense around spots 5, 6, and 7, where teams could either climb into direct qualification range or slip further away, depending entirely on their own performances.
