Julio Enciso, only 19 years old, has 11 caps with Paraguay’s national team since 2022. He has not scored a goal yet, but so far he is projected as one of the big forwards of the squad.



Paraguay are ready to start one of the toughest qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. They play in South America against big teams like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina">Argentina</a>, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, among others.



Enciso has been playing in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/england">England </a>since 2022 for Brighton &amp; Hove Albion. He has made 22 appearances and scored 4 goals in the Premier League. This is a good number for a player of his age.
