Uruguay faces a key match against Cape Verde on the second day of Group H of the 2026 World Cup. The team led by Marcelo Bielsa needs a victory to strengthen its aspirations to advance to the next round after drawing 1-1 against Saudi Arabia in its debut.
The match, which will be played at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, will mark the first official confrontation between both teams. Cape Verde arrives after facing Spain and will seek to surprise one of the teams with the greatest World Cup tradition.
La Celeste relies on the talent of players like Federico Valverde, Darwin Núñez, Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Maximiliano Araújo to impose conditions from the start. However, he will not be able to count on Ronald Araújo, who has not yet fully recovered from a muscle injury.
Cape Verde will try to compete with an orderly defensive proposal and take advantage of any opportunity to counterattack. Africans face the duel with the hope of continuing to make history in their World Cup participation.
