Uruguay needs to improve
The Uruguayan national team had achieved good results in their preparation matches, however the match against Iran was very contrasting, as the team failed to create good scoring moves and looked disconnected in all lines, Alonso has a lot of quality in the players so this match will be the opportunity to show that the defeat was just a bad day.
Canada is already in the stadium

Araujo without World Cup
Ronald Araújo was ruled out of the Uruguay national team after he was injured in the friendly match against Iran. The Barcelona player will undergo surgery on his right thigh tendon and his recovery time will probably prevent him from missing Qatar.
Canada's coach spoke
"We go into this with an open mind and a positive spirit. Uruguay is as close to a World Cup opponent as you can get. We will adopt our underdog mentality and get our processes right."
Suarez reaches 133 internationals
Striker Luis Suarez reached 133 games wearing the Uruguay national team jersey, equaling Cavani and Muslera and only surpassed by Diego Godin who has 159. Suarez made his debut in the senior national team against Colombia on February 7, 2007 and since then he has shown his love for the national team.

Uruguay on alert after the match against Iran
The Uruguayan national team was at risk of qualifying for Qatar, as it had a very low place in the qualifiers, however with the arrival of Diego Alonso, this team rebounded to qualify in third place in CONMEBOL, now the Charruas will seek to give a great performance as they have done in previous editions, this generation is very young, but talented, names like Valverde, Araujo, Nunez, Cavanni and Suarez add to the experience to have a very competitive team in the World Cup, Nuñez are added to the experience of Cavanni and Suarez to have a very competitive team in the World Cup, their group is one of the most complicated to ensure who will be top of the group, the four teams look very even and that is why Uruguay has faced teams from different confederations in order to have variations in tactics, one of the bad news was the injury of Araújo in the first minutes of the match against Iran and it is likely that he will miss the World Cup.
Canada in search of its best level
The Canadian national team had a great qualifying round in CONCACAF which culminated in the first position, the federation of this team did not expect this classification, because they did not prepare the design for the World Cup jersey, the players have protested against the brand that sponsors the team; However, they will have to be satisfied with the jersey of the qualifying round, Canada got the ticket to Qatar taking advantage of all the local conditions, during the qualifying round they played in a freezing climate which most of the teams are not used to, this team is very young, but has a lot of talent in all lines, the team comes from beating Qatar 0-2 and after the game against Uruguay will have a final test against Japan, although it is not a favorite to advance, the team will take experience for the 2026 World Cup.
Last international friendly prior to Qatar
The friendlies for Qatar 2022 are coming to an end and most of the teams will meet again until the greatest soccer festival, the preparation of the teams should already be done and in this last game before the World Cup can give the teams security or distrust, for this Wednesday's match we will see Canada facing Uruguay, two teams that have a very complicated group in Qatar and clearly do not want to stay in the group stage.
