The Uruguay national football team, often called "La Celeste," is one of the most fruitful and storied teams in Copa America history. Known for their stubborn and physical style of play, Uruguay has won the competition a record number of times, showcasing a rich tradition of football excellence. Uruguay won the inaugural contest in Argentina, making it the first nation to hold a global football title worldwide. They are the joint-most successful side in Copa America history with fifteen titles, tied with their rivals Argentina. Until 1927, the South American Championship was held yearly, and Uruguay were the ruling team during this early era, winning six out of eleven contests. Part of all six victorious squads was inside forward Angel Romano, who holds the record for most titles and for most tournament contributions.
