Argentina will face England in the second semifinal of the 2026 FIFA World Cup wearing their traditional alternate blue kit. The match is scheduled for Wednesday at 1 a.m. Bangladesh time at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The decision on team kits was finalized after a meeting between representatives of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), the English Football Association (FA), and FIFA. England will play in their regular white home kit.
The blue jersey carries historical significance for Argentina, recalling the 1986 World Cup quarterfinal against England when Diego Maradona scored the famous 'Hand of God' and 'Goal of the Century'. In the current tournament, Argentina have worn the blue kit only once, defeating Jordan 3–1 in the group stage. England have used their white kit in five of six matches, switching to red only once against Panama.
According to FIFA regulations, the team listed as 'Team A' in the knockout stage, this time England, has priority for the home kit. Argentina’s choice of blue ensures a clear contrast between the teams’ colors.
