The President of Paraguay highly appreciated the national football team's qualification for the World Cup for the first time since 2010. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
On this occasion, he issued a decree declaring September 5 a day off and a national holiday. According to official sources, this day off does not apply to medical workers and officials engaged in essential state services for society.
Before the final round of the qualifying stage, the Paraguay national team is in sixth place in the competition table. From the South American region, the national teams of Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Ecuador, and Colombia qualified for the World Cup.
The play-off matches will feature either Venezuela or Bolivia, with only a one-point difference between them. This event is causing great joy and pride in the country.
