María Becerra to Sing Argentina's Anthem at 2026 World Cup Final vs. Spain

Argentine pop sensation María Becerra is set to perform her country's national anthem at the highly anticipated 2026 World Cup final. The match, scheduled to take place in the United States, will see Argentina face off against Spain at the iconic MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

The 26-year-old artist, affectionately known as 'La Nena de Argentina,' was seen conducting sound checks at the venue on Sunday. The stadium is expected to host an impressive crowd of 82,500 spectators for the final showdown.

Becerra has been building anticipation for her performance. On Saturday, she shared a photo on Instagram from a private jet, holding a 2026 World Cup ball and an Argentine jersey bearing the number 10, famously worn by captain Leo Messi. Her caption, "Yendo" (Going), added an air of mystery to her journey.

“

I feel that I carry my flag, my country, wherever I go, and I always try to represent Argentina in the best way possible.

Her participation in the final comes after a slight schedule adjustment at the Bigsound Festival in Pontevedra, Spain, where she performed earlier. Organizers confirmed the change without specifying the reasons.

Becerra, who boasts millions of followers, particularly across Latin America and Spain, has consistently emphasized her commitment to representing Argentina. "I feel that I carry my flag, my country, wherever I go, and I always try to represent Argentina in the best way possible," she told EFE two years ago. Her musical career includes three studio albums: 'Animal' (2021), 'La Nena de Argentina' (2022), and 'Quimera' (2025).
