WORLD CUP | Uruguay federation cancels charter flight after 2026 World Cup elimination

Uruguay’s soccer federation (AUF) canceled the charter flight that was set to take players from their base camp in Mexico back to Montevideo, leaving them to take commercial flights either home or to family vacations, according to Yahoo Sports. Uruguay’s World Cup ended Friday with a 1-0 loss to Spain that allowed Cape Verde to advance to the knockout rounds, and manager Marcelo Bielsa drew attention afterward for angrily yelling at journalists in a postgame interview.
