Uruguay’s departure from Cancun to Miami is delayed because of an airline permitting error in Mexico, FIFA tells dpa. The delay pushes the team’s arrival to South Florida later than planned ahead of Uruguay’s World Cup Group H opener against Saudi Arabia. The match is scheduled for Monday night at Hard Rock Stadium. Multiple reports say Uruguay reaches the United States less than 24 hours before kickoff, with the team arriving on Sunday night. One outlet reports the plane is delayed by a couple of hours in Mexico, while FIFA attributes the disruption to the airline permitting issue. Yahoo Sports also reports that the airline apologizes for the inconvenience. The postponement affects the team’s travel timeline but does not change the scheduled opponent or venue for the opener. Uruguay’s World Cup campaign takes place in the expanded 48-team tournament, which uses 16 venues across the host countries.
