Argentina to Wear 'Lucky' Blue Kit Against England

The Argentina National Football Team will don their navy blue away kit for the semi-final match against England in the 2026 World Cup, scheduled to take place in Atlanta on Wednesday at 20:00 BST. England will wear their traditional white home kit for the game.

Argentina has previously worn this darker kit during the tournament, notably achieving a 3-1 victory against Jordan in the group stage. Media reports suggest that the team associates this kit with superstitions linked to their World Cup triumphs, particularly the iconic 1986 victory over England, where Diego Maradona scored the famous "Hand of God" goal.

Argentina also defeated England in the 1998 tournament, securing a 2-1 win in the quarter-finals. The team aims to continue their successful run in the tournament, having reached the semi-finals after a dramatic extra-time victory on Sunday.
