FIFA World Cup 2026, Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay Group H: Former World Cup champions Uruguay are scheduled to get their Group H campaign in FIFA World Cup 2026 underway against Saudi Arabia at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Monday. But the South American giants already suffered a major blow as their arrival in Miami was delayed due to ‘permit issues’.
Uruguay’s flight was scheduled to travel from Cancun in Mexico around 2 PM to Fort Lauderdale (USA) but a paperwork issue meant that their flight couldn’t take off on time. “Due to an airline permitting error in Mexico, the Uruguay national team’s departure from Cancun to Miami was delayed. The airline has apologised for the inconvenience caused.
“FIFA remained in close contact with the Uruguay national team throughout their delay and worked alongside airport and operational partners to help expedite the process and minimise disruption to the team’s travel arrangements,” FIFA said in a statement.
Uruguayan media, in fact, reported that the flight that the national team were taking from Cancun wasn’t authorized to enter United States. Uruguay will begin their 15th FIFA World Cup journey and their fifth in succession since making a memorable return to form with a fourth-placed finish at 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
After a rollercoaster qualification campaign, the ‘La Celeste’ clinched a direct berth in the hard-fought South American preliminaries for the FIFA World Cup 2026. With Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani moving on in international football, Marcelo Bielsa’s side will need to find new heroes and they could be Manchester United’s Manuel Ugarte and Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Rodrigo Bentancur.
For Saudi Arabia, striker Feras Al-Buraikan led the way with 5 goals in a tough qualifying campaign where they were placed in same group as Australia and Japan. The Saudi team was relegated to Playoffs group but bounced back with win over Indonesia and sealed a World Cup berth with a goal-less draw against Iraq in Jeddah.
Saudi Arabia’s final warm-up match saw them hold Senegal to a 0-0 draw. They have won just once in their last 7 encounters , so they don’t go into the tournament in impressive form. Saudi Arabia will be taking part in their seventh FIFA World Cup campaign (1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2018, 2022, and 2026) and third in a row.
