The President of Argentina will not attend the World Cup final due to lucky rituals

Argentine President Javier Mele will not go to the United States to attend the final match of the 2026 World Cup against Spain on Sunday, but will watch it on television, as he has done since the beginning of the finals, out of a good luck ritual, according to what he announced Thursday.

In response to a question from a radio journalist whether he would go to the United States, Milley answered firmly, “No, not at all. I will continue to watch the matches from Olivos, the presidential residence, as I have done since day one.”
