FIFA has attributed travel disruptions experienced by the Uruguayan national team to an issue with their flight permit. The team faced difficulties arriving in Miami ahead of their opening match for the 2026 World Cup qualification campaign. FIFA has placed blame on the airline responsible for the travel arrangements, without naming the specific carrier. The incident caused uncertainty regarding the team’s preparation and potential impact on their performance. Details surrounding the permit issue remain limited, but FIFA stated they are working to resolve the situation. Uruguay is scheduled to play their first match despite the travel setbacks. The organization has not indicated any potential rescheduling of the game at this time.
