The Uruguayan Football Association has reportedly canceled the private jet reservation intended to fly the national team home after their disappointing World Cup campaign. Consequently, each player must now individually arrange their own commercial flights to return from North America.
Marcelo Bielsa's squad suffered a 1-0 defeat to Spain in their final match of the 2026 World Cup, accumulating a mere two points, which proved insufficient to advance from the group stage.
Recent reports have highlighted growing tensions between the coach and his players, who allegedly expressed dissatisfaction with the excessive training workload leading up to matches. Bielsa himself is also expected to be relieved of his duties. The 70-year-old Argentine reportedly lost his temper after the loss to Spain, lashing out at journalists.
This marks the second consecutive World Cup where Uruguay has failed to progress beyond the group stage.
