🇺🇾 With 7️⃣ BR 26 players, Uruguay name official squad for the Cup | OneFootball

Uruguay has announced its squad for the 2026 World Cup.

Among the 26 players selected by Marcelo Bielsa for the 2026 tournament, there is one clear absence: Luis Suárez, although the star had not been called up recently. 

So the main surprise is Nahitan Nández, a regular starter during the qualifiers, who ended up being left out of the final squad.

From the Brazilian league, Guillermo Varela, Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Nicolás de la Cruz, of Flamengo, Joaquín Piquerez and Emiliano Martínez, of Palmeiras, as well as Agustín Canobbio, of Fluminense, and Sergio Rochet, of Inter, were called up.

Canobbio deserves special mention, as he plays on the right wing for Fluminense but was officially called up for the World Cup as a midfielder.
