Uruguay World Cup 2026 squad: Marcelo Bielsa's full team for October's friendlies
"The Uruguay World Cup 2026 squad is coming together. Marcelo Bielsa's side will get a flavour for a potential World Cup 2026 opponent in October as they take on debutants Uzbekistan as well as the Dominican Republic in Malaysia. La Celeste were one of four teams from CONEMBOL to qualify with 28 points and will appear at the World Cup for the 14th time when they travel to Canada, Mexico and the United States."
"This is a transitional time for the two-time world champions four if you count the Olympic Games (which Uruguay do, with the four stars on their shirt) who will be without major stars of yesteryear. Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez have led the Uruguayans for years but it looks as if neither striker will be in North America next summer. Instead, it's up to Darwin Nunez, now playing in Saudi Arabia."
Uruguay qualified for World Cup 2026 as one of four CONMEBOL teams with 28 points and will appear for the 14th time in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Marcelo Bielsa named an October selection that includes goalkeepers Sergio Rochet, Franco Israel, and Santiago Mele. The squad lists defenders such as Ronald Araujo and Matias Vina, midfielders including Federico Valverde and Manuel Ugarte, and forwards led by Darwin Nunez alongside Rodrigo Aguirre and Brian Rodriguez. The team is in transition after Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez, with Bielsa seeking his best World Cup finish.
