In recent decades, the Uruguay national team has been known for its stars.

A small South American country constantly manages to develop world-class footballers, which was especially evident in the team's recent match against England (1:1).

"Explain how a country with three million inhabitants can have captains of Real Madrid and Barcelona,” the Uruguayan federation wrote on its social media account, posting a photo with Federico Valverde and Ronald Araujo.
