Uruguay will face Cape Verde in their second Group H match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on June 21, 2026, at Miami Stadium on FS1.
This fixture marks the first-ever senior international meeting between these two nations.
Cape Verde pulled off one of the great World Cup surprises in its World Cup debut, forcing a draw against the reigning European champion Spain 0-0.
The Blue Sharks were the only one of this tournament’s four debutants to get a point in the first set of group games, and they’re the first team to post a shutout in its World Cup debut since 2006.
40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha was Cape Verde’s hero, making seven saves to keep Cape Verde’s clean sheet.
Meanwhile, Uruguay drew its opener 1-1 against Saudi Arabia, but the match was a tail of two halves.
In the first half, Uruguay had 58% possession, and shots were even at five apiece. In the second half, Uruguay had 75% possession and outshot Saudi Arabia 22-2. La Celeste’s 22 second-half shots tied a World Cup record.
Uruguay will look to carry that second half momentum into its second half of the tournament.
