The Uruguay national team had to make a change to the squad list for the upcoming FIFA international window, which takes place between September 24 and October 6, 2026. Managed by Diego Forlán, the team will face Japan, South Korea, and India.
After the World Cup, Palmeiras remains well represented in the Uruguay national team. Piquerez and Emiliano Martínez, who were called up for the World Cup, were included again by Diego Forlán. Even though they did not play in the tournament, the players were part of the entire cycle.
After the official squad announcement, which only included Piquerez, head coach Diego Forlán had to make a change following an injury to Real Madrid’s Valverde. Palmeiras midfielder Emiliano Martínez was called up at the last minute, increasing the number of Palmeiras players called up to eight.
