Argentina women's team clinches 2027 World Cup berth after 1‑1 draw with Peru
Argentina's women's national team secured a direct place at the FIFA Women's World Cup 2027 by drawing 1‑1 with Peru at the Estadio Ciudad de Lanús. Mercedes Diz opened the scoring in the 75th minute, while Cherrie Cox equalised for Peru five minutes from time. Both sides finished much of the match with ten players after red cards. The result gave Argentina its fifth World Cup appearance and third consecutive qualification under coach Germán Portanova.
In the same CONMEBOL Women's Nations League round, Colombia earned its spot by beating Uruguay 1‑0 in Cali, with a first‑half goal from Gisela Robledo. The win placed Colombia atop the table with 17 points, ahead of Argentina’s 15, and ensured both South American nations a berth in Brazil 2027.
Peru's draw kept its hopes alive but left the team short of qualification. The combined outcomes finalize the CONMEBOL qualifiers, leaving the remaining teams to contest the two inter‑continental play‑off slots.
