Uruguay national football team
Encyclopedia
The Uruguayan national football team represents Uruguay
in international
association football and is controlled by the Uruguayan Football Association, the governing body for football in Uruguay
. The current head coach is Óscar Tabárez
. The Uruguayan side is commonly referred to as La Celeste (The Sky Blue [One]) or Los Charrúas.
Uruguay are the current reigning South American champions, having won the 2011 Copa América
. Uruguay have won the Copa América
a record 15 times. The team has twice won the FIFA World Cup
, including the first World Cup in 1930
as hosts, defeating Argentina
4–2 in the final
. They won their second title in 1950
, upsetting hosts Brazil
2–1 in the final match, which received an attendance higher than any football match ever.
They have won the Gold Medals in football at the Summer Olympics
twice, in 1924
and 1928
, before the creation of the World Cup. Uruguay also won the 1980 Mundialito
, a tournament among former World Cup champions. In total, Uruguay have won 20 official titles, an international record for the most international titles held by a country.
Their success is amplified by the fact that the nation has a very small population of around 3.5 million inhabitants. Uruguay is by far the smallest country in the world to have won a World Cup. The second smallest country, by population, to have won the World Cup is Argentina
with a total population of over 40 million people. Uruguay is also the smallest country ever to win any World Cup medals; only six nations with a currently smaller population than Uruguay's have ever participated in any World Cup: Northern Ireland
(3 times), Slovenia
(twice), Wales
, Kuwait
, Jamaica
and Trinidad and Tobago
. Uruguay is also the smallest nation to win Olympic gold medals in any team sport.
. The inaugural Copa America provided Uruguay with more varied opposition. Victories over Chile
and Brazil
along with a tie against Argentina enabled Uruguay to win the tournament. The following year Uruguay hosted the competition, and retained the title by winning every game. The 1919 Copa America saw Uruguay's first defeat in the tournament, a 1–0 defeat in a playoff with Brazil which went to two periods of extra time, the longest Copa America match in history.
In 1924 the Uruguay team traveled to Paris to become the first South American team to compete in the Olympic Games
. In contrast to the physical style of the European teams of the era, Uruguay played a style based around short passes, and won every game, defeating Switzerland
3–0 in the gold medal match. In the 1928 Summer Olympics
Uruguay went to Amsterdam
to defend their title, again winning the gold medal after defeating Argentina 2–1 in the final.
Following the double Olympic triumph, Uruguay was chosen as the host nation for the first World Cup
, held in 1930, the centenary of Uruguay's first constitution. During the World Cup, Uruguay won all its matches, and converted a 1–2 half-time deficit to a 4–2 victory
against Argentina at the Estadio Centenario
. Due to the refusal of some European teams to participate in the first World Cup, the Uruguayan Football Association
urged other countries to reciprocate by boycotting the 1934 World Cup
played in Italy. For the 1938 World Cup
, France was chosen as host, contrary to a previous agreement to alternate the Championships between South America and Europe, so Uruguay again refused to participate.
Uruguay again won the World Cup in 1950, beating hosts Brazil in one of the biggest upsets in World Cup History. The final was at the Maracanã Stadium
in Brazil. Uruguay came from behind to beat the host nation in a match which would become known as the Maracanazo. Many Brazilians had to be treated for shock after the event, such was the surprise of Uruguay's victory.
After their fourth place finish in the 1954 World Cup, the team had mixed performances and after the fourth place finish in 1970, their dominance, quality and performance dropped. They were no longer a world football power and failed to qualify for the World Cup on 5 occasions in the last 9 times. They reached all time lows and were at one time 54th in the FIFA rankings.
However, in 2010 a new generation of footballers created a team that is considered the best in the last 2 decades and caught attention by finishing fourth in the World Cup. A year later, they won the Copa America
for the first time in 16 years and broke the record for the most successful team in South America.
in the Uruguayan capital Montevideo
. The stadium was built as a celebration of Uruguay centenary of the first constitution, and had a capacity of 90,000 when first fully opened. The stadium hosted several matches in the 1930 World Cup, including the final, which was watched by a crowd of 93,000. Crowds for Uruguay's home matches vary greatly depending on the importance of the match and the quality of the opposition. World Cup qualifying matches often attract crowds of between 55,000 and 72,000.
, one of the four great clubs of early Uruguayan football; the national team adopted the sky blue away jerseys of the club as their home jersey. The current Uruguayan "River" club, CA River Plate not to be confused with more famous Argentine club Club Atlético River Plate
, uses home and away kits similar to those of the historic club.
The first international match involving an Uruguayan team took place in Montevideo in 1889, against the "Buenos Aires Team". The "Montevideo Team", the first team to represent Uruguay, was fielded by the still-active Montevideo Cricket Club, which does not participate in football today. The first official international match was played in Montevideo in 1901; on that occasion, the Uruguayan squad wore Montevideo club Albion FC's home kit: Albion was in fact the first domestic side to win a game outside Uruguay, a 1896 match against Argentine club Retiro in Buenos Aires.
Between 1901 and 1910, Uruguay wore a variety of different shirts during matches, including solid green and white tops, and even a shirt modeled from the Flag of Artigas
. During games against Argentina, Uruguay would sport vertical blue and white stripes, while the Argentines would wear plain turquoise jerseys. After 1910, the two teams swapped styles, with Argentina adopting light blue and white striped shirts, and Uruguay wearing solid light blue shirts.
The red jersey that is used in today's away strip was first used at the 1935 Copa América
, held in Santa Beatriz in Peru
, which Uruguay won. It was not worn again until 1991, when it was officially adopted as the away jersey.
Four stars appear above the team logo
on the jersey. Two represent Uruguay's 1930 and 1950 World Cup victories, and the other two represent the gold medals received at the 1924 and 1928 Summer Olympics, which at the time was the most important international football competition.
