Several Argentine football fans who are denied US visas receive free televisions to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to reports. The fans had sought to travel to the United States to attend the tournament, but their visa applications are rejected, ending their plans.

Both outlets report that the TVs are provided specifically to fans who missed out on US visas and that the purpose of the giveaway is to allow them to watch the World Cup.
