2006 FIFA World Cup Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol

South America will be represented by four teams who all took part in Korea/Japan 2002, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Ecuador. In accordance with the new regulations, it is the first time that the reigning champions, in this case Brazil, have not qualified automatically.

Uruguay will face Oceania champions Australia in a FIFA World Cup play-off next month after clinching fifth place in the South America zone qualifiers with a 1-0 win over Argentina. When Uruguay and Australia faced off in identical circumstances for the 2002 FIFA World Cup the South Americans took the honours with a 3-1 aggregate scoreline.
