Hundreds of Uruguayans turned Miami blue on Sunday, gathering in the streets and at the Sanata Fest to build a celeste pregame scene ahead of Uruguay's Mondial 2026 debut against Saudi Arabia on Monday. Gonzalo Cammarota led the event, and the rhythm of DJ Sanata carried the celebration through the afternoon.

The buildup centered on banderazos, juntadas and improvised asados, turning the day before the match into a public show of anticipation rather than a quiet wait. FútbolUy spoke with fans in the streets of Miami and after the event, capturing a mood that was fully fixed on Monday's kickoff and on the chance to greet the World Cup with noise, color and food.

That made the scene feel larger than a simple pregame meeting. It was a fan-driven gathering in Miami and for the World Cup, a way for Hundreds of Uruguayans in Miami to mark the calendar before Uruguay's debut in the Mundial 2026 against Arabia Saudita. The gathering was also a reminder that the support for Uruguay was already in place before the team had played a minute.

And that is the point that hangs over all of it. The crowd celebrated as if the night already belonged to Uruguay, but the match itself had not yet been played. For Cammarota and the fans who packed into the celeste atmosphere, Monday was still the test that would decide whether the singing, the flags and the improvised grills were the opening act or the first chapter of something bigger.

What happens next is simple and immediate: Uruguay takes the field on Monday against Arabia Saudita, and the celebration in Miami will either read as a preview of a successful run or as the memory of a day when hope arrived before the result did.
