Argentina reaches the 2026 World Cup semi-final against England after beating Switzerland 3-1, while England advance following a 2-1 win over Norway in the quarter-finals. Multiple outlets report that Argentina submits a “special request” to FIFA ahead of the semi-final, with the request relating to match kit arrangements. FIFA then agrees to the request, confirming Argentina will play in their navy blue strip, matching the color they had sought for the fixture. Other coverage also notes that England’s kit for the semi-final is expected to be all white. The reports cite journalist Gaston Edul in connection with the original request. Coverage frames the move as aimed at improving Argentina’s preparation and match setup, though specific details beyond the kit color are not consistently described across the outlets. The semi-final is therefore set to feature England in white and Argentina in navy blue, after FIFA’s approval of Argentina’s request.
