  • Partners of Argentine national football players are maintaining rigorous training routines during the 2026 World Cup.
  • They completed a 5-kilometer run in Kansas City, with influencers Agustina Gandolfo and Carolina Calvagni participating.
  • The families are using the Kansas City base to foster a supportive environment, balancing personal fitness with support for the team.

While the Argentine national football team focuses on the 2026 World Cup, their partners are demonstrating a parallel commitment to fitness and well-being. During the team's concentration in Kansas City, which serves as their base for the tournament, the partners of the players have established a consistent training regimen.

Agustina Gandolfo, partner of Lautaro Martรญnez, and Carolina Calvagni, wife of Nicolรกs Tagliafico, were among those who embraced a sunny day for a 5-kilometer run through the streets of Kansas City. Gandolfo described the activity as a "World Cup running team." The run also included Jano Martรญnez, Lautaro's brother, and his partner Jazmรญn Fernรกndez. Social media posts revealed a sustained pace, indicating a serious approach to their fitness rather than a casual outing.

The choice of Kansas City as the team's operational hub has facilitated closer proximity for the families. This arrangement also allows for recreational activities for the children. In recent days, Valentina Cervantes, partner of Enzo Fernรกndez, organized a gathering by the hotel pool for the players' children, including Olivia and Benjamรญn Fernรกndez, alongside the children of Gandolfo and Martรญnez. These family get-togethers have become a regular occurrence when the team's schedule permits.

The partners' dedication extends beyond running. Both Gandolfo and Calvagni have shared updates from local gyms, using them to combat jet lag after long international flights. Their shared experiences, built over years of supporting their partners' careers, have led to a joint schedule that balances personal health habits with their role in supporting the national team during the World Cup.
