The  FIP World Cup Qualifiers South America  delivered their verdict in Asunción. In front of their home crowd, the  Paraguay  achieved a perfect campaign by securing qualification for the  FIP World Cup 2026 Doha  for both men and women. The women's selection of  Chili  will also accompany the Paraguayan women to Qatar.

Imperial Paraguay among men

There was no suspense for the Paraguayan men's team. On the final day, Paraguay secured first place with a victory.  3-0 against Uruguay .

 Pierre Petit / Sebastián Rodríguez  got their team off to a perfect start by dominating  Martin Araujo / Diego Sebastián Ramos ,  7 / 6 6 / 4 . Behind,  Martín Abud / Samuel Miltos  have definitively secured qualification with a resounding success  6 / 2 6 / 0  face  Nicolás Rosas / Franco Soria .

A flawless run for Paraguay, who finish these qualifiers  without having lost a single match  and secures his ticket to Doha on home soil.

Paraguayan women are also present

The women's competition also achieved similar success, although the path was a little more challenging.

Paraguay initially dominated  Ecuador 2-1 before concluding his campaign with a clear victory  3-0 against Venezuela .

 Mariana Salsamendi and Maria Alejandra Vera  played a particularly important role in both matches. They won their match against  Ana Paula Gamarra / Alexandra Valeria Cepeda  against Ecuador, then against  Valeria Rothe / Sol Alejandra Leone  against Venezuela.

Two victories that allow Paraguay to finish in first place and secure a  historic double qualification at home .

Chile will also be present in Doha

The second women's ticket goes to  Chili , who finished ahead of Uruguay and Venezuela thanks to a better head-to-head record after completing the phase with  six points .

The Chilean women notably dominated Venezuela  3-0 despite a defeat  2-1 against Uruguay .

For the men, Chile didn't need to go through these qualifiers: the team had already secured its place in Doha thanks to its presence  among the nine best nations of the last World Cup .

Just a few more tickets to hand out

The table of the  FIP World Cup 2026 , scheduled  from November 2nd to 7th in Doha will bring together  32 selections: 16 male and 16 female .

With the South American phase over, attention will now turn to the  European qualifications , organized at  Madrid, September 22-26 , then towards the qualifiers  Africa-Asia , which will allow the final places for the World Cup to be allocated.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
