Episode 3 – Uruguay: Garra Charrúa and the Soul of South American Football

This month, Touchline Travels heads to Uruguay, a small country with an outsized footballing heartbeat. We dive into the Primera División, explore the history and passion behind Peñarol, and celebrate the elegance of Enzo Francescoli, one of South America’s most influential playmakers. We also uncover the cultural force of Garra Charrúa — the fierce, unbreakable spirit that defines Uruguayan football on and off the pitch. Packed with stories, surprises, and plenty of South American magic, this episode shows why Uruguay punches far above its weight.
