FIFA WC 2026: Uruguay Squad Lands In Miami After Permit Issue Delays Flight, Blames FIFA For Travel Chaos
FIFA World Cup: The Uruguayan national team finally arrived in South Florida on Monday ahead of their opening FIFA World Cup match after their flight from Cancun, Mexico, was delayed due to a permit issue.
Uruguay, which held a training session in Cancun on Sunday morning, will face Saudi Arabia in a Group H opener on Tuesday (IST) at Hard Rock Stadium.
The Uruguay team was set to fly out around 2:00 PM to Fort Lauderdale (USA) to check into their hotel on Monday, before finally making their 2026 World Cup appearance on Tuesday. However, a paperwork issue with the plane's US entry permits prevented the flight from taking off on time.
