The FIFA international window has begun and, with that, players have started reporting to their respective national teams. In Uruguay, Matías Viña will have the chance to reunite with Arrascaeta, De La Cruz and Varela after leaving Flamengo.
Viña left Flamengo at the start of 2026, when he was loaned to River Plate (ARG). Given this situation, the left back is taking advantage of his call-up to the Uruguay National Team to see his former teammates again.
It is important to point out that Viña is playing for River Plate, but he is still a Flamengo player. That is because the athlete remains under contract with the Rubro-Negro until the end of 2027.
In the last squad list before the final call-up for the 2026 World Cup, Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa selected Arrascaeta, De La Cruz and Varela. As a result, the expectation is that Flamengo’s trio already has a place secured for the next World Cup.
In this final test during the FIFA window, ‘La Celeste’ will face England at 4:45 PM (Brasília time) this Friday (27). The final match will be against Algeria on March 31 at 3:30 PM (Brasília time).
While the Uruguayans are away on international duty during the FIFA window, the Flamengo squad is enjoying its second day off. Then, on Wednesday (25), Leonardo Jardim’s players returned with full focus on the team’s next commitment of the season.
On April 2, Flamengo will face Red Bull Bragantino in the ninth round of the Brasileirão. In short, the match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) in Bragança Paulista. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media.
