Overview
- Government, city and security agencies have drafted an operational plan to receive the national team immediately after the World Cup final and began negotiating details on Saturday.
- Officials are weighing two primary formats: a balcony appearance at the Casa Rosada or a staged caravana to the Obelisco with a designated route and crowd controls.
- Reported logistics under consideration include Aerolíneas Argentinas charter flights arriving at Ezeiza, use of Hangar 5 as a secure arrival point, and helicopter transfers to the Casa Rosada helipad, though those details have limited confirmation.
- Political coordination is led by Karina Milei while the security operation is managed by Minister Alejandra Monteoliva and city counterparts, and President Javier Milei will not attend the match in the United States.
- The plan’s driving aim is to avoid the crowd-control failures of Qatar 2022; the final decision will depend on the AFA and the players and may change because of arrival timing, weather or family travel logistics.
