The Uruguay national football team (Spanish: Selección de fútbol de Uruguay) represents Uruguay in international men's football, and is administered by the Uruguayan Football Association, the governing body for football in Uruguay. The national team is commonly referred to as La Celeste (The Sky Blue).
Regarded amongst the greatest footballing nations of all time, Uruguay has won the Copa América 15 times, being tied with Argentina for the most titles in the tournament's history, winning their most recent title in 2011. Additionally, Uruguay are holders of four FIFA recognized World Championships.[6] Their first two senior world titles came at the Olympic tournaments of Paris 1924 and Amsterdam 1928, two events that were directly organized by FIFA as open tournaments that included professionals.[7] In 1924, La Celeste beat Switzerland 3-0 in the final. Then, in 1928, Uruguay repeated as world champions by beating Argentina 2-1. They would then secure a third consecutive title at the inaugural FIFA World Cup in Montevideo, where they beat Argentina 4-2 in the decisive match. Uruguay's fourth title came in 1950 after beating hosts Brazil in the final match 2–1; a match that still holds the record for the highest official attendance for a football match ever (173,850 people at the gate).
