Uruguay vs. Chili compete this Friday, September 8, within the framework of the first day of the South American Qualifiers 2026. The commitment, which will have Marcelo Bielsa and Eduardo Berizzo on the benches, will be held at the Centenario Stadium, located in Montevideo. Pay attention! Match in sight! In the following paragraphs, check the schedules according to your location and on which channels to watch the transmission of this great match.
Through their social networks, the Uruguayan team published the list of the players who will be against the ‘Red’ and the ‘Tri’. Although it was striking that the sky-blue team did not have Luis Suárez and Edinson Cavani among their ranks, the call from some youth footballers such as Cristian Olivera and Maximiliano Araujo also surprised.
Of course, Marcelo Bielsa surprised with the call of Nahitan Nández, who stopped being called in 2021, after being denounced for gender violence. This season, the 27-year-old midfielder reached an economic agreement, which is why he will be able to return to his country.
Chile, for its part, looks a rather complicated scenario, specifically when putting together an eleven that allows it to add three at the Centennial. And it is that Alexis Sánchez, the great figure of the Berizzo team, arrives at this match without adding minutes since June 21, so the Argentine coach will have to prepare a special plan to fine-tune the man born in Tocopilla.
Like Uruguay, the ‘Red’ also had surprising absences, such as Claudio Bravo. Given this, a wave of criticism of the strategist has been unleashed, since many consider that the Real Betis goalkeeper is in optimal condition to continue wearing the colors of his country.
