Iraq vs Bolivia: Preview

If Bolivia can overcome Iraq in Mexico, they will claim a place at the World Cup finals for the first time since the United States hosted the tournament in the summer of 1994.

Should they make it past Iraq, Bolivia will return to Foxborough in Massachusetts, where they picked up their first and only World Cup group stage point against South Korea 32 years ago.

The Path 2 winners' Group I opener will be played at Gillette Stadium against Norway, with France in Philadelphia and Senegal in Toronto to follow before the end of June.

As the seventh-placed team in CONMEBOL qualifying, Bolivia would be clear underdogs in the group. Their professional performance against Suriname proved that they're not fazed by the more immediate challenge of getting there in the first place.

Iraq's single appearance at the World Cup finals was in Mexico in 1986, before the country's circumstances were irrevocably altered by war. They lost all three group fixtures in Toluca and Mexico City.

For now, Guadalupe is Iraq's be all and end all. They won six out of six in their first group in AFC qualifying but missed out on automatic qualification at the next stage and indeed the stage after that.

In November, they had one more chance to stay in the game and took it, beating the United Arab Emirates over two legs to set up this inter-confederation play-off final. They've been flying by the seat of their pants for 18 months and it's now or never as far as World Cup 2026 is concerned.

Iraq lost their last two matches of 2025, beaten to nil by Algeria and Jordan in the Arab Cup. After a long unbeaten run, that wasn't the ideal preparation for this game. Strangely, one gets the sense this current Iraq team wouldn't have it any other way.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Iraq 1-0 Bolivia

There's a huge amount on the line in what's bound to be a tense affair in Mexico. It's too close to call but Iraq have clung on to their World Cup hopes this far.
