Philadelphia Union Forward Bruno Damiani Joins Uruguay Senior Squad

Philadelphia Union forward Bruno Damiani has earned his first senior national team call-up to Uruguay, marking a significant milestone in the 24-year-old’s professional career. The Philadelphia Union announced the selection today, signaling a rise in the striker’s international profile following a breakout season in Major League Soccer.

Damiani’s inclusion in the senior squad comes on the heels of a highly productive 2026 campaign. Over the course of the MLS season, he has recorded 12 goals and four assists. His production saw a sharp upward trajectory during the autumn months, as he tallied nine goals and three assists during a seven-match stretch between September 9 and October 17.

This call-up represents a step forward from his previous international experience. Damiani previously earned a spot on Uruguay’s locally based national team in 2024, where he made a start in a scoreless draw against Costa Rica on May 3 of that year. While that match provided a foundation within the national system, this latest summons places him directly into the senior team environment.

Upcoming International Fixtures for Uruguay

The timing of the selection coincides with two upcoming international matches for the Uruguayan side. According to the Philadelphia Union, the national team is set to face Argentina in an international friendly on November 13. Following that encounter, Uruguay will host the Dominican Republic on November 17.

The opportunity to compete against top-tier South American opposition like Argentina offers Damiani a platform to test his form against some of the world’s most established defensive units. For the Union, the call-up validates the club’s development strategy, as they see one of their primary attacking options transition into the senior international level.
