The 2026 FIFA World Cup semi-final match between the national teams of England and Argentina, having withdrawn the status of a limited match tournament. Mirror informs about this.

A large team of representatives of the FBI, FIFA, local police and organizers of the city was closely monitored for information from the press service.. At the time of discussion, the main respect was given to the historical conflict between the two countries and possible conflicts between patients.

To improve security at the stadium in Atlanta, entrances will be organized around the stadium for English and Argentinean fans. Now in the middle of the arena there will be no division of sectors - as in other matches of the tournament, fans of different teams can transfer bets through the ticket resale system.

The organizers say that they have done everything possible to minimize contact between fans until the beginning of the game, but after the disappearance of spectators in the stands, it is impossible to completely control their placement.

Adding tension to the match is the historical and political rivalry between England and Argentina. However, the head coach of the Argentine national team, Lionel Scaloni, said in front of the team that his team is focused exclusively on the football semi-final.
