Uruguayan FA cancels World Cup charter Jet following embarrassing outing
The Uruguayan Football Association has canceled the national team’s private charter flight following a disappointing 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign, forcing players and staff to return home on commercial flights.
The Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) has officially canceled the planned private charter flight intended to fly the national team back from the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
This drastic measure comes as a direct consequence of the squad’s underwhelming performance and early exit from the tournament group stage.
The decision underscores the federation’s deep dissatisfaction with the team’s overall campaign.
As a result of the logistical revocation, all players, coaching staff, and delegation members will be forced to book standard commercial flights to return to South America.
The sudden disciplinary move replaces the usual luxury accommodations provided to the squad during major international tournaments, reflecting a tense atmosphere between the football governing body and the national team line-up.
