Argentine President's Absence from 2026 Final
Argentine President Javier Milei has decided not to attend the 2026 World Cup final against Spain, preferring to watch the match from his residence in Buenos Aires. He explained his decision by adhering to certain personal rituals he believes have brought luck to the team during the tournament, as well as following a long-standing tradition among heads of state of avoiding the final matches due to the fear of "mufa" (bad luck), which dates back to Argentina’s loss in the 1990 final after the president visited the locker room before the game. Milei’s decision comes despite official invitations urging him to attend. The Argentine team is entering the final with high spirits after achieving seven consecutive positive results.
