UruguaygegenCabo Verde

Uruguay meet Cape Verde at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday, June 21, 2026, match 39 of the tournament and the pivot of the group — by now both sides know exactly what a win is worth. Group H sends its top two through automatically, with the eight best third-placed teams across all twelve groups also advancing — so neither side can afford a flat ninety minutes.

Miami provides the stage — hosts the third-place play-off near the end of the tournament. Kickoff is 18:00 stadium time (EDT); fans of Uruguay and Cape Verde can check the exact hour back home in the times panel below.
