The Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) has issued disciplinary measures against the national squad following their performance at the 2026 World Cup. The team, managed by Marcelo Bielsa, failed to secure a victory throughout the tournament, exiting in the group stages with a record of two draws and one loss in their final match against Spain. The group stage concluded with a highly contentious match against the European champions.
Notable events during the fixture included the halftime substitution of veteran goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, which followed him conceding a goal from Alex Baena. Further complicating the proceedings, Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte was sent off after being dismissed for a suspected groin injury, an issue that could potentially sideline him for an extended period. The disappointing outcome of the campaign has prompted the disciplinary review by the governing body.
The failure to achieve any wins in the competition has drawn significant scrutiny toward the squad’s performance. The aftermath of the tournament has placed the focus squarely on the repercussions for the players and coaching staff. The disciplinary action taken by the AUF reflects the overall underwhelming showing of the Uruguayan team throughout the international tournament.
