Montevideo, Uruguay – March, 30th 2026 – dLocal, the leading cross-border payments platform connecting global merchants to emerging and high-growth markets, announced that it has become an official global sponsor of the Uruguayan national football team, taking the story of how local payments power global growth to the football’s biggest stage in 2026.
The partnership is a flagship moment in dLocal’s 10th anniversary year, which comes with a renewed manifesto and tagline, “Financial technology for markets of the future,” highlighting how the company connects global opportunities with local realities across more than 44 emerging and high-growth markets and 1000 payment methods.
