This Group H opener in Miami sees the inaugural World Cup winners face the 2034 hosts, with both sides desperate for an early advantage in a group featuring Spain and Cape Verde.
Saudi Arabia enter the tournament under new leadership after the departure of Hervé Renard following a difficult qualifying campaign. Greek coach Georgios Donis has taken the reins of a squad that managed just 10 goals in 12 qualifying matches, though they did find momentum recently with a 3-0 victory over Puerto Rico.
Uruguay transition into a new era without legends Luis Suárez and Edinson Cavani, yet they remain firm favourites. Their recent form has been mixed, including a heavy 5-1 loss to the USA and a 0-0 draw with Algeria, but they historically excel at managing the tempo in high-stakes tournament openers.
