About This Match
Uruguay face Cape Verde in the Group Stage of Group H on Sunday, June 21, 2026. Uruguay are ranked #10 in the world and managed by Marcelo Bielsa; Cape Verde sit at #60 under Pedro Leitão. The match kicks off at 18:00 local time at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
Uruguay
Uruguay, two-time World Cup champions (1930, 1950) and one of South America's most storied footballing nations, arrive at 2026 under the mercurial Marcelo Bielsa with a squad blending youth and experience. Liverpool's Darwin Núñez provides explosive forward threat, while Real Madrid's Federico Valverde - one of the world's best box-to-box midfielders - gives the Celeste genuine quality throughout. Group H against Spain, Saudi Arabia, and Cape Verde is challenging but entirely manageable for a side of Uruguay's pedigree. La Celeste's legendary fighting spirit - their semi-final run at South Africa 2010 still lives long in memory - makes them one of the tournament's most compelling storylines.
Read Uruguay preview →Cape Verde
Cape Verde make their historic debut at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, representing one of the most remarkable qualification stories of the entire tournament. The Blue Sharks, a tiny Atlantic archipelago nation of just 560,000 people, have punched far above their weight in African football for over a decade. Coach Pedro Leitão leads a squad built from dual-nationals with Portuguese heritage playing across European leagues, including the tricky Ryan Mendes and the experienced Garry Rodrigues. Group H against Spain, Uruguay, and Saudi Arabia is enormously challenging, but Cape Verde's spirit and organisation have toppled bigger nations before - their debut marks a proud moment for African football.
