Juan Román Riquelme invited to watch Argentina vs Egypt at World Cup 2026

Boca Juniors president Juan Pablo “Chiqui” Tapia extended an invitation to former club star Juan Román Riquelme to travel to the United States and attend Argentina’s World Cup 2026 round‑of‑16 match against Egypt in Atlanta on July 7. Riquelme, who remains in Argentina, is weighing the offer and has not yet confirmed whether he will join the team’s supporters abroad.

The match follows Argentina’s early qualification for the tournament and a recent knockout‑stage win over Cape Verde. Tapia’s proposal is unrelated to club business and is aimed at allowing the legendary former midfielder to witness the national team’s first elimination‑round game live.
