Uruguay
The Uruguay national football team, nicknamed La Celeste ("The Sky Blue"), have represented Uruguay in international men's football since their first international match since 1902 and is administered by the Uruguayan Football Association, the governing body for football in Uruguay, which is affiliated with CONMEBOL and comes under the global jurisdiction of world football's governing body FIFA. Uruguay's home stadium is the Estadio Centenario, and they have been coached by Marcelo Bielsa since 2023. Considered one of the most successful national teams in international competitions and by FIFA as "football's first global powerhouse," Uruguay has won four world FIFA-organized competitions, two Olympic titles and two FIFA World Cups. Their first two senior world titles came at the Olympic tournaments of Paris 1924 and Amsterdam 1928, two events that were directly organized by FIFA as open tournaments that included professionals. In 1924, La Celeste beat Switzerland 3–0 in the final. Then, in 1928, Uruguay repeated the Olympic championship by beating Argentina 2–1. They then secured a third consecutive title at the inaugural FIFA World Cup in Montevideo, where they beat Argentina 4–2 in the decisive match. Uruguay's fourth title came in 1950 after beating hosts Brazil in the final match 2–1, a match that still holds the record for the highest official attendance for a football match ever (173,850 people at the gate). Additionally, Uruguay has won the Copa América 15 times, second only to Argentina for the most titles in the tournament's history, winning their most recent title in 2011. Uruguay has developed many rivalries through the years, with the most notable ones being with neighboring countries Argentina—known as the Clásico del Río de la Plata based on their geographical location and cultural similarities, and Brazil—known as the Clásico del Río Negro in reference to the 1950 FIFA World Cup final known to football fans as the Maracanazo. Uruguay's rivalries in recent history also include with Australia, having met twice in the playoffs of the 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification campaigns, as well as Ghana, whom they encountered in the 2010 and 2022 FIFA World Cups.
