The Argentine Football Association submitted a request to FIFA to use the alternate kit in the 2026 World Cup semifinal against England, scheduled for Wednesday in Atlanta.
The Argentine squad remains in Kansas after the 3-1 victory over Switzerland in the quarterfinals. Lionel Scaloni’s team resumed training on Sunday with a light session for the starters.
The AFA requested FIFA permission to wear the alternate kit against England, similar to the one used versus Jordan. The official response will come on Tuesday, when the home team is confirmed.
Atlanta authorities are preparing a special security operation for the Wednesday match at 16:00 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Atlanta Police Department is strengthening controls due to the historic rivalry between the two teams.
England striker Harry Kane stated that the clash will be tough following his team’s win over Norway.
