Why does Argentina have to play the 2026 South American Qualifiers if they were World Cup champions?

Despite having established himself in Qatar and having achieved the third star in history, the selected Albiceleste must qualify in the 2026 Qualifiers to be able to reach the World Cup to be played in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

“Although the automatic presence of the defending champion in the next edition of the World Cup to defend the title was a tradition for decades, the rule changed after the 2002 FIFA World Cup, when the champions Brazil had to play the South American Qualifiers to get their place in the 2006 FIFA World Cup”, explains the official FIFA site.

It should be noted that for the next World Cup there will be 48 nations instead of 32. In this sense, CONMEBOL will have six guaranteed places + 1 for the world playoffs.
