Uruguay national football team is in a winning atmosphere ahead of their debut in the FIFA World Cup 2026 against Saudi Arabia. Dozens of people gather in front of a giant screen in the esplanade of the Intendencia of Montevideo, and the same happens in other public spaces in other locations across the country. The last dawn, with temperatures as low as -5 degrees Celsius, does not seem to dampen the excitement that the World Cup is causing throughout the country. A Uruguayan wearing the celeste jersey told Prensa Latina that the cold does not bother them, also excited about the historic draw that Cabo Verde achieved against Spain, Uruguay's rivals in group H. Press reports from Fray Bentos and Salto confirm that the excitement is expressed with massive gatherings, bar meetings, and families in front of the TV. Several businesses decided to close early so that employees and bosses can watch the inaugural match of the charrúa. This does not prevent the football atmosphere from gaining temperature, and the star meteorologist on television, Nubel Cisneros, started his afternoon segment with the phrase: Today everyone is celeste. This is expressed with the proliferation of national flags that adorn facades and wave on vehicles that transit through this capital. At this time, in the media and on the street, no one bets on a defeat against the Saudi rival. The only differences are the bets on how the charrúa victory will be and who will score the goals of the victory in the Miami stadium, where the match will take place. Walking through the neighborhoods of the city, you can see merchants selling flags and jerseys of the celeste. I am celeste, is also the slogan at the Intendencia of Montevideo, where a drumbeat of candombe began, in the prelude to Uruguay-Saudi Arabia. The expectation is great and the entire country is ready to see their team debut in the World Cup. The question on everyone's mind is how the Uruguayan team's strategy will be to face their Saudi rival. With a negative record of 1-8 in the last records, the Uruguayan team seeks to change their luck in this World Cup. But the atmosphere in the country is one of optimism, and people are ready to celebrate a victory. The excitement in public spaces is constant, and people gather to watch the match and support their team. The Uruguayan team has a great challenge ahead, but with the support of their people, they are ready to face it. And the country is waiting with bated breath to see what will happen. But one thing is certain, the Uruguayan team will give it their all to achieve victory. So, the wait is almost over, and the debut of the Uruguayan team in the World Cup is just around the corner.
