Arruabarrena on Uruguay national team's radar: 'It's a boy's dream'

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 08:08

Arouca's goalkeeper, Arruabarrena, has been called up for the Uruguay national team for the first time. The Portuguese club confirmed the information, presenting it as news that marks a historic moment for the athlete.

The player from Montevideo sees this call-up as the fulfillment of a childhood dream. The call-up represents a significant milestone in his sporting career.

Arruabarrena arrived at Arouca in 2022, coming from Peñarol, his formative club in Uruguay. Since then, he has been a key figure in goal for the Portuguese team.

Why this matters

This article is of direct interest to Portuguese readers, especially Arouca fans, as the Portuguese club sees one of their players reach a significant international level. It is also a story of perseverance, as Arruabarrena, at 30 years old, had never been called up to any national team, making this call-up a remarkable moment for both the player and Portuguese football.
