María Becerra tipped to sing Argentina's anthem at World Cup final | OneFootball

María Becerra is shaping up as the leading candidate to sing the Argentine National Anthem at the 2026 World Cup final, which will be played by the Argentina national team and Spain this Sunday at 4 p.m. at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The news was reported on Yanina Latorre’s TV show, where the rumor linking Tini Stoessel to this ceremonial performance was also officially ruled out.

Revelation and dismissal on television

The details came to light during the broadcast of the show aired on América TV, where the host and her panelists analyzed the musical options for the event. In that context, it was clarified that Tini was no longer in the running for personal reasons and to avoid public exposure due to her romantic relationship with footballer Rodrigo De Paul.

Amid the uncertainty over who would take on the important artistic responsibility, panelist Pía Shaw firmly confirmed the name of “La Nena de Argentina”. The announcement sparked immediate excitement in the studio, although it was clarified that the participation still depends on the formal closing of last-minute negotiations.

Official version and caution from her circle

The program’s production team contacted the singer’s manager directly, who preferred to maintain a cautious stance when asked about it. Her representatives explained that the artist is currently in the midst of an intense tour of scheduled concerts across Spain.

Becerra’s team decided neither to confirm nor deny the report definitively to the press, arguing that everything remains to be seen. In this way, confirmation of the singer for the lead-up to the crucial match, where La Albiceleste will seek its fourth World Cup star, will be decided in the coming hours.
