This privilege is not new for the Argentine captain. Already at the 2022 World Cup, where Argentina became world champions, Messi was accommodated alone. According to abola.pt, this practice has become common since Sergio Aguero retired from the national team.
The Argentine delegation is staying at The Origin Hotel in Kansas City, a 118-room hotel located on the banks of the Missouri River. This location will serve as the team's home base at the start of the competition, notable for its proximity to the stadium and training facility.
Argentina is part of Group J of the World Cup, along with the national teams of Algeria, Austria and Jordan. The first match of the title world champions is scheduled for the morning of June 17 (Romanian time).
