The Argentina National Team changed its logistics for the 2026 World Cup and completed its final training session in Kansas this Wednesday before traveling to Miami. The national delegation prioritized maintaining its work routine and logistical stability, training behind closed doors before heading to Florida, which delayed the charter flight’s departure by more than an hour from the originally scheduled 6:00 p.m.

The Argentine camp is now heading to Miami to enter the final stretch of its preparation at Hard Rock Stadium, a venue filled with fond memories after winning the 2024 Copa América. There, head coach Lionel Scaloni will lead Thursday’s final formal practice ahead of the crucial round-of-32 clash against Cape Verde.

The three question marks Scaloni still has in his starting eleven

Tuesday’s session offered no clear clues because the coach handed out 13 training bibs among the players during the portion open to the media. The coaching staff’s secrecy remains in place as they work to resolve three specific doubts in the lineup:

  1. Center-back pairing: Cristian “Cuti” Romero’s physical condition is being assessed; if the Tottenham defender responds optimally, he will regain his starting spot in place of Nicolás Otamendi.
  2. Left-back: Nicolás Tagliafico, now recovered from his injury, is battling neck and neck for the spot with Facundo Medina, who has been putting in strong performances.
