2026 World Cup: FBI designates England vs Argentina as most watched match

The 2026 World Cup semi-final between England and Argentina in Atlanta is classified as the highest-risk match of the tournament by the FBI, FIFA, and local police. Separate entrances and dedicated bars are planned for fans, but no segregation inside the stadium due to ticket resales. The rivalry stems from the 1982 Falklands War; Argentine Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno recently revived the dispute, which was rejected by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Coaches Lionel Scaloni and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford have sought to calm tensions.
