Argentina have lodged a formal request with FIFA asking permission to wear their all‑blue alternate kit in the upcoming World Cup semi‑final against England.
The move comes after Argentina’s 3–1 victory over Switzerland secured their place in the last four, where they will meet an England side fresh from a quarter‑final win over Norway. With Lionel Messi in electric form and tied at eight goals in the Golden Boot race alongside France’s Kylian Mbappé, Argentina are looking for every possible edge going into the high‑stakes clash.
According to journalist Gaston Edul, the Argentine federation prefers the all‑blue strip over their traditional blue‑and‑white design for this match and has already submitted the request to FIFA for approval.
The semi‑final is set to be one of the most anticipated fixtures of the tournament, adding an extra layer of intrigue with Argentina’s unusual kit preference.
