Uruguay lands in Miami after flight delay ahead of World Cup opener against Saudi Arabia‎

Uruguay arrived in South Florida on Sunday night ahead of its opening World Cup match after the team's plane was delayed for a couple of hours in Mexico. Uruguay will face Saudi Arabia in a Group H opener Monday night at Hard Rock Stadium, one of 16 venues in the expanded 48-team tournament. “Due to an airline permitting error in Mexico, the Uruguay national team’s departure from Cancun to Miami was delayed,” FIFA said in a statement.
