BREAKING: Lionel Messi Led Argentina To Wear Lucky Blue Away Kit Vs England At 2026 World Cup Semi Final
Holders Argentina will wear their navy blue away kit to face England in the semi-finals of the World Cup in Atlanta on Wednesday.
England will be in their all-white home kit for the game at the Atlanta Stadium (20:00 BST).
They have only worn the darker kit once during the tournament, in their 3-1 win against Jordan in the group stage.
While the move could be because of kit regulations, it has also been suggested by media in Argentina that it is linked to superstition – with the kit associated with iconic World Cup wins over England in 1986 and 1998.
They defeated the Three Lions 2-1 in the 1986 quarter-finals, in which Diego Maradona scored the ‘Hand of God’ goal, and also secured a last-16 penalty shootout victory over their old rivals at the 1998 tournament in France.
England booked their place in the semi-finals with a 2-1 extra-time victory against Norway on Saturday, while Argentina claimed a dramatic 3-1 win over 10-man Switzerland, also in extra time, on Sunday.
