Despite their best players seemingly coming to the end of their international careers, the Uruguay World Cup 2022 odds suggest they could still make an impact.
Over 35s Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani and Diego Godin have all excelled at recent editions, including when their side finished fourth in 2010 and reached the quarter-finals four years ago, and this tournament could be the veterans' last dance.
Suarez led the way with eight goals in qualifying but Uruguay do have some exciting emerging players in the form of Federico Valverde from Real Madrid, Benfica's Darwin Nunez and Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur.
They have a tough group alongside South Korea, Portugal and Ghana but, if they can emerge from that, they could be dangerous opponents.
