Superstitions prevent the President of Argentina from attending the World Cup final

Argentine President Javier Mele stated that he will not attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup final match, which his country is competing in, due to superstitions.

Milley indicated that instead, he will watch the Argentina vs. Spain match, tomorrow, at his home, just as he followed all seven of the team’s matches in the World Cup finals, currently being held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, all of which ended with the victory of the “Tango Dancers” team.

In an attempt to help the Argentine national team achieve its second consecutive World Cup title, and the fourth in its history, after the 1978, 1986 and 2022 editions, Millie explained that he will also wear the same heavy jacket.

Fans and players around the world cling to superstitions that they believe will bring good luck to their team, or bad luck to their competitors, but in South America, especially in Argentina, the so-called “Kabbalah”, or ritual beliefs and customs, are of great importance, which reflects the intense enthusiasm with which many in the country watch their national team.

When the president was asked whether he would travel to New Jersey to watch the upcoming match, accompanied by his close ally, US President Donald Trump, and Swiss Gianni Infantino, President of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), Milley responded, “Impossible.”
