Colombia, Uruguay and Paraguay are clear for the World Championship in football next summer.

This jersey means so much to me, says Colombian attacking star James Rodriguez.

The former Real Madrid player scored the leading goal in the 3–0 win at home against Bolivia. Colombia takes one of six direct places in the South American qualifying, after missing the finals in Qatar 2022.

Also Uruguay (3–0 against Peru) and Paraguay (0–0 against Ecuador) are World Championship-clear.

Previously, the reigning world champions Argentina, Brazil and Ecuador were qualified.

On Tuesday, the last round is played in the South American qualifying.
