Meanwhile, Argentina's President Javier Milei has opted to stay in Buenos Aires, citing superstitious beliefs tied to Argentina's football traditions and historical precedent. Milei believes staying home brings good fortune, a practice rooted in 'cábalas'—superstitions common in Argentine football culture.
