Dallas bids passionate farewell to Argentina and Messi

Dallas bid a fervent farewell to the Argentine national football team and its star player, Lionel Messi, on Saturday, June 27, 2026. Thousands of supporters, clad in the iconic sky-blue and white jerseys, filled the stadium with the same passion that greeted the 'Scaloneta' upon its arrival in the city.

Following their match against Jordan in Dallas, the team is set to continue its journey to Miami, where they will face the surprising team from Cape Verde on July 3. The departure from Dallas marks the end of a passionate chapter for the team in the city, which had witnessed significant displays of support, including numerous flag-waving events before both the match against Austria and the recent game against Jordan.

Hours before the kickoff against Jordan at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, hundreds of fans had already begun painting the venue in Argentine colors. Long queues formed as supporters eagerly sought entry, undeterred by the prior announcement from coach Lionel Scaloni that Messi would not be in the starting lineup for the match. The enthusiasm and dedication of the fans were palpable, demonstrating their unwavering support for the team.
