Uruguay cancels charter flight after early World Cup group‑stage exit

Uruguay’s national team was knocked out of the World Cup group stage after a 1‑0 defeat, prompting the AUF to impose a punitive measure. The federation cancelled the charter flight arranged for the entire delegation, forcing players to arrange their own commercial travel.

Some players will head straight to their clubs, while others will return to Uruguay for a brief rest before resuming duties. The move reflects the disappointment of an early tournament exit.
