The defeat of the albiceleste team in the first semifinal of the Copa América Femenina against Colombia by the minimum embittered and overshadowed the spirit of the Argentine team, which fought equally with the host team. The trophy was diluted, the chances of going to the 2024 Paris Olympics were also diluted. However, the main objective of Portanova’s team was not diluted: to get direct passage to the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand 2023.
Having placed among the four best teams in this tournament, the Albiceleste has already secured its spot in the intercontinental playoff for next year’s World Cup. Chile is the other team that, having finished in fifth place, will also be able to access this play-off, which will take place in February, with a rival yet to be defined.
However, Argentina has one more chance to get a direct ticket to Australia and New Zealand and thus get their participation in the World Cup. What has to happen? Portanova’s team must win the match they will play on Friday against the team that loses today’s match between Brazil and Paraguay.
The match for third place will be played on Friday 29 at 9:00 p.m., in the city of Armenia, where Argentina has already played in the group stage. If Argentina secures that third place, then it will go to the World Cup for the second time in a row. If, on the other hand, they finish fourth, they will have to play the playoffs in February.
The 2022 women’s Copa América provides two direct places for the Olympic Games that will take place in Paris in 2024. Argentina lost that chance yesterday after the defeat against Colombia, because they are reserved for first and second place. However, he did ensure his participation in thehe Pan American Games in Chile 2023, a tournament that the Colombian team won last time. Who will go to the continental contest? Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Colombia and Venezuela, who was sixth because they lost the duel for fifth place against Chile but will play because the Chilean team is local and they already had their place secured.
On Friday, July 29 at 9:00 p.m. (Argentina), the albiceleste team will face the winner of the Brazil-Paraguay semifinal at the Centenario stadium in the city of Bucaramanga.
The game will be televised on Public Television, National Radio, the Relatores application and DirecTV.
