How to watch the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifier between Brazil and Bolivia, as well as kick-off time and team news.
Brazil will take on Bolivia in their first qualifier for the 2026 World Cup on Friday at the Mangueirao Stadium.
The Selecao have only managed to win one out of their last four fixtures and that run includes their defeat to Croatia that sealed their 2022 World Cup fate. Brazil’s interim coach Fernando Diniz will be desperate to start their qualifying campaign on a positive note.
The good thing for six-time World champions is that they are up against a team who have only managed one win in their last 11 fixtures across all competitions. Bolivia have only qualified three times for the World Cup and their last appearance was all the way back in 1994.
Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
