Ancient curse bars Argentine leader from final
The article focused on the reason why Argentine President Javier Milei did not attend the 2026 World Cup final against Spain. Instead, he chose to watch the match from his home in Buenos Aires, fearing that his presence might bring bad luck to the team— a tradition rooted in his belief that the presence of presidents at crucial matches could cause misfortune. Despite the significance of the game, he refused to travel to the stadium in New Jersey, affirming that the Argentine team achieved all seven of their victories while he was watching from home. It is worth noting that the Argentine presidents' superstitions related to "bad luck" date back to the 1990 World Cup. Meanwhile, Spanish Prime Minister and King, as well as U.S. President Trump, will be traveling to attend the match. Argentina's national team is aiming to win the World Cup for the third time, having achieved 14 consecutive victories, while Spain remains unbeaten in its last 17 matches and boasts a strong defense.
