Agustín Canobbio

Agustín Canobbio is one of Uruguay's forwards for the 2026 World Cup, named by Marcelo Bielsa for the finals. The Fluminense forward is 27 at kick-off and brings 15 caps and 1 international goal into the tournament, in line for a first World Cup.

Uruguay were drawn in Group H with Spain, Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia. They open against Saudi Arabia at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on 15 June, then face Cape Verde at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on 21 June and Spain at Estadio Akron in Zapopan on 26 June. Uruguay reached the finals by finishing fourth in CONMEBOL qualifying, with their place secured on 4 September 2025 and Canobbio among the forwards in Bielsa's 26.

Canobbio is a forward for Fluminense, with 1 international goal in 15 caps for Uruguay. His is a forward's game for his country, the role he has filled in the squads Marcelo Bielsa has named over recent years. That forward's profile, with goals already on his international record for the national side, is what he takes into the final 26 for the 2026 finals, a forward option Uruguay carry into the tournament this summer.

Uruguay take Canobbio into attack, a Fluminense man on 15 caps whose duty for them is high up the pitch. Uruguay rank as a £24m name in Tier 2, a side marked within the game's £200m card budget, and Saudi Arabia awaiting them in Group H to begin. It is the contribution Canobbio brings to the side here, with his role for the run already agreed, his group involvement set for the run.
