Sebastián Sosa keeps Juventud in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 13 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
Match11 Dec 2026
A chastening European night for Juventud
1‑4 against Vasco da Gama. The honest reading is not that the players were poor; it is that the distance between this club and that one is currently measured in things money takes years to buy.
Boardroom14 Dec 2026
Juventud book their European place
Done, and with games to spare. Next season has floodlit nights against clubs from other countries in it, and the accounts have a line they did not have last year.
Player ratings14 Dec 2026
Nobody could get near Alejo Cruz
Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Rentistas come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Juventud did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Market14 Dec 2026
Mauricio Rodríguez is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Juventud is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
Boardroom14 Dec 2026
Mauricio Rodríguez signs for River Plate while still at Juventud
The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Mauricio Rodríguez has agreed terms with River Plate for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.
Transfer targets14 Dec 2026
Juventud baulk at the price for Anderson Brum
Tacuarembo wanted more than $66.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

A falling-out at Juventud
David Morosini and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
