What Patch Does Uruguay Wear at the 2026 World Cup?

Uruguay are two-time world champions — winners of the inaugural 1930 tournament and again in 1950 — so the Celeste take the field wearing the gold version of the 2026 right-sleeve "26" tournament badge, the colorway set aside for former World Cup champions. That gold emblem sits against Uruguay's trademark sky-blue home shirt, where the cool celeste makes the warm gold badge stand out, while a darker change kit shifts the contrast toward the lighter standard-family treatment. Drawn in Group H, Uruguay carry one of the proudest pedigrees in the field for a nation their size.

The left sleeve is a different matter: the rotating round patch changes with each phase, from the group-stage "Unite for Peace" mark through the knockout designs as Uruguay advance. So the badge on a Uruguay shirt depends on which round the match belongs to — the table below maps each one. These are aftermarket reproduction patches for the 2026 World Cup.
