FIFA president Gianni Infantino has come out to praise Argentina’s professionalism during the 2026 World Cup. His comments come despite the governing body simultaneously investigating the Albiceleste for their chaotic conduct following the final defeat to Spain, which ended in a 1-0 loss after extra time.
In a letter which leaked to the press, Infantino simply expressed gratitude for Argentina’s contribution to the tournament’s atmosphere on the global stage.
Stressing that the 2026 World Cup will be remembered as a unique celebration of football, Gianni added that Argentine football played a major role in its success.
His words, “Dear Mr. President, Yesterday, Sunday, July 19, 2026, at the magnificent New York New Jersey Stadium, Argentina won the silver medal of the FIFA World Cup 2026, after an exciting final against Spain. I would like to reiterate my most sincere congratulations for this important new result for Argentine soccer.
The FIFA World Cup 2026 will remain in memory as an unforgettable celebration of football, marked by spectacular matches, the irruption of new promises, the presence of the great figures of the sport and the extraordinary atmosphere lived in stadiums full of fans.
The magnificent performance of the Albiceleste also contributed decisively to making this edition an exceptional event that captivated millions of football enthusiasts around the world.
Please send my sincere congratulations to all who have contributed to this magnificent result: to the players, to coach Lionel Scaloni, as well as to the coaching and medical staff and, of course, to the many fans who have accompanied and encouraged the team throughout the competition.
These victories are always the fruit of constant work, professionalism and attention to detail, but also of passion, commitment and love for this wonderful sport.
All this augurs a very promising future and, without a doubt, will pave the way for new and great successes for Argentine football. I wish you, dear Mr. President, all the best for the next competitions and I hope to see you again very soon. With all my friendship, Gianni Infantino.”
