Copa América

Uruguay are the most successful nation in Copa América history with a record 15 titles. At Copa América 2024 in the United States, they reached the semi-finals under Bielsa — demonstrating the squad's competitive edge against South America's best. The Copa América remains the ultimate stage for South American football, and Uruguay are perennial contenders at every edition.

About the Uruguay National Team

Uruguay wear four stars on their shirt — two for their World Cup triumphs and two for the Olympic gold medals of 1924 and 1928, which they consider equivalent to world championships. It is a statement of historic grandeur that few nations can match, and it reflects a footballing culture that punches wildly above its weight for a country of just 3.5 million people. The Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, built for the first-ever World Cup in 1930, remains one of football's most sacred grounds.

Bielsa's impact has been transformational. Appointed in 2023, the Argentine brought his trademark high-intensity pressing, tactical complexity and uncompromising standards. He moved on from legends like Luis Suárez and Edinson Cavani, blooded young talent, and built a squad that beat both Brazil and Argentina in qualifying. His 3-3-3-1 system demands extraordinary fitness and intelligence — qualities this Uruguay squad possesses in abundance through Valverde's box-to-box dynamism, Ugarte's relentless pressing and Núñez's explosive power in attack.

Key Uruguay Players

Federico Valverde — The Complete Midfielder

Real Madrid's Federico Valverde is Uruguay's most important player and one of the finest midfielders in world football. At 27, Valverde combines extraordinary athleticism with technical brilliance — his ability to cover the entire pitch, score spectacular goals and dictate the tempo of matches makes him the engine that drives everything La Celeste do. A multiple Champions League and La Liga winner with Real Madrid, Valverde arrives at the World Cup in his absolute prime.

Darwin Núñez — The Force

Now at Al-Hilal after his time at Liverpool, Darwin Núñez remains one of the most explosive strikers in world football. His combination of pace, power and unpredictability makes him a nightmare for defenders, and his goal-scoring record for Uruguay in qualifying confirmed his status as La Celeste's primary attacking threat. At 27, Núñez has the potential to be one of the stars of the tournament.

Manuel Ugarte — The Destroyer

Manchester United's midfield enforcer provides the defensive steel that allows Valverde and others to attack. Ugarte's tackling, pressing intensity and positional awareness make him one of the best defensive midfielders at the World Cup. At just 24, he is the future of Uruguay's midfield and a perfect fit for Bielsa's high-pressing system.

José María Giménez — The Captain

Atlético Madrid's experienced centre-back leads La Celeste from the back. A multiple La Liga and Europa League winner, Giménez brings leadership, aerial dominance and the warrior mentality that Uruguayan football is famous for. At his fourth World Cup, his experience will be invaluable in the biggest moments.

Ronald Araújo — The Wall

Barcelona's powerful centre-back provides the physical presence and defensive solidity that anchors Uruguay's back line. Araújo's pace, strength and ability to dominate strikers make him one of the best defenders at the tournament.

Uruguay's Tournament History

Uruguay's football history is extraordinary for a nation of their size. They won the first-ever World Cup in 1930 as hosts in Montevideo, then stunned Brazil in the 1950 final at the Maracanã — the famous "Maracanazo" that remains one of football's most iconic moments. Their 15 Copa América titles are a record that may never be surpassed, and their Olympic gold medals of 1924 and 1928 established South American football on the global stage. More recently, Uruguay reached the World Cup semi-finals in 2010 under Óscar Tabárez, with Diego Forlán winning the Golden Ball.
