Argentina will celebrate July 15 each year as National Football Teams Day, a date chosen to remember the dramatic 2026 World Cup semi‑final win over England. After falling behind to a goal by Anthony Gordon, the Argentine side, led by coach Lionel Scaloni, rallied with an equaliser from Enzo Fernández in the 85th minute and a stoppage‑time winner by Lutero Martínez. The AFA said the day recognises every national team – from senior men to youth and women’s squads, including futsal and beach soccer – that carry the nation’s flag on the field.
