The most famous Uruguayan stadium is the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo. It was built in 1930 especially for the first World Cup, and that is where Uruguay won the final against Argentina. The stadium is now a kind of football museum - it has a room full of old shirts, cups and photos of every major Uruguayan football story.
Uruguayan children grow up playing football almost everywhere - on streets, in school playgrounds, on patches of grass and on indoor courts. Every neighbourhood has its own little club. Even though Uruguay is small, the country has produced a long line of brilliant players - Luis Suárez, Edinson Cavani, Diego Forlán and many others have played at the highest levels of world football.
The men's Uruguay team are nicknamed 'La Celeste' - 'The Sky-Blue One' - because of the pale blue shirts they wear. Match days turn whole streets into a sea of sky-blue flags and shirts. Children paint their faces in sky-blue and white before big games.
Uruguay also love futsal - a small-sided indoor version of football played with a slightly heavier ball. Many Uruguayan footballers say they learned their tricks playing futsal in a tight space, where you have to think and pass quickly. It is a great example of how a small country can grow great players by playing in small places.
