Argentina fans gather in Dallas for ‘Banderazo Argentino’ ahead of World Cup match
Argentina fans are gathering at Klyde Warren Park in Dallas on Sunday evening for a traditional “Banderazo Argentino” ahead of the team’s upcoming FIFA World Cup match in North Texas.
Hundreds of fans gathered in anticipation of Argentina’s first North Texas game in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Fans began to gather on Sunday, and by 4 p.m., the park was a sea of blue and white jerseys.
The crowd expressed their support for the team with drums, chants, and flags, celebrating iconic Argentina players like Lionel Messi.
The gatherings, known as banderazos, bring supporters together in celebration. Rallies have been scheduled for the days before each Argentina game in Arlington.
Argentina will face Austria on Monday, June 22, and Jordan on Saturday, June 27. Fans will gather again on June 26.
A similar event drew nearly 3,000 fans to the park during Argentina’s 2022 World Cup run, turning downtown Dallas into a sea of blue and white.
