"la celeste" (a nickname for the Uruguayan national squad that refers to their blue shirts)

Explanation:
I do not need any context to know you are talking about Uruguay's national squad. There is no official translation and I have not found any, but just some vague attempts. I'd leave it in Spanish with a few words in English to clarify.
Celeste means light-blue.
