India vs Uruguay Football Live Updates: India wrap up its October international window with a daunting friendly against Uruguay today (October 6, 2026), kicking off at 7:30 PM IST. Hosted at the Vivekananda Yuva Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata, this high-profile clash serves as a vital final test for the Blue Tigers ahead of November's SAFF Championship, while Diego Forlan's La Celeste look to build on their emphatic recent win over South Korea. India enter this international friendly following a challenging window under Khalid Jamil. The Blue Tigers began with a 1-1 draw against Panama before suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat to five-time world champions Brazil, with Estevão, Pedro, and a brace from Samuel Lino sealing the result. Uruguay arrive under new leadership after Diego Forlán replaced Marcelo Bielsa following a disappointing group-stage exit at the World Cup. While Forlán's tenure began with a 3-1 loss to Japan, La Celeste bounced back emphatically with a 4-1 victory over South Korea in Seoul. Uruguay is now targeting another strong display to build momentum.

However, that hope soon faded away after Brazil drubbed India 4-0. India were strong and put up a fight, but were nowhere near the standards of Brazil.
