Forward Agustín Canobbio experienced one of the most remarkable moments of his career last Monday (15). Called up by the Uruguayan National Team for the 2026 World Cup, the Fluminense player made his debut in the tournament by coming on at halftime in the match against Saudi Arabia and staying on the field throughout the entire second half.

After the match, in the mixed zone of the stadium in Miami, United States, the forward did not hide his emotion when speaking about the opportunity to play in his first World Cup. Canobbio highlighted his pride in the path he has built over the last few months and revealed that being called up was something he had not even imagined a short while ago.

In addition to thanking his family and friends, the Uruguayan also made a point of recognizing Fluminense’s importance in his recent journey.
