As Lionel Scaloni's squad prepares to travel to Arlington for their second World Cup 2026 match against Austria, Argentine fans ignited the atmosphere in North Dallas with a "prebanderazo" event on Saturday. The gathering took place on the eve of the crucial game.

At Argentina 163, a popular meeting spot for Argentine supporters in Euless, located about 13 kilometers from Arlington, nearly 200 fans of the Albiceleste united. They sang anthems and waved flags, embodying the optimistic spirit that surrounds the reigning world champions. The team began their campaign with a decisive victory over Algeria, featuring a three-goal performance from Leo Messi, who, along with Diego Maradona, is the subject of many of the fans' songs.

This "prebanderazo" is just the beginning of the fan celebrations. Three more events are scheduled for Sunday in various Dallas locations. These gatherings are expected to bring together the large contingent of Argentine supporters who have traveled from Kansas City to accompany the team throughout the tournament.
