Football powerhouse Brazil on Friday qualified for the 2017 Fifa Under-17 World Cup to be held in India from October 6-28, PTI reported.
Along with Brazil, Chile and Paraguay have also booked their ticket for the event from South America. The three teams qualified from the South American U-17 Championship, currently underway in Chile.
The three countries have now secured three of the four Conmebol tickets on offer to the Fifa U-17 World Cup with a match to spare.
Colombia are the favourites to take the fourth slot as they need just a point on the final matchday on Sunday to finish ahead of Ecuador and Venezuela.
Paraguay were the first to seal passage after they beat Venezuela 3-1. Chile then earned qualification with a 1-0 victory over Ecuador. Brazil, meanwhile, blanked Colombia 3-0 to confirm their ticket to India.
