María Becerra to Sing Argentine National Anthem at 2026 World Cup Final The identity of the singer for the Argentine national anthem at the 2026 World Cup final between Argentina and Spain was officially confirmed hours before the match. After widespread speculation about a potential return of Lali Espósito, who performed in the previous edition, and the brief consideration of Soledad Pastorutti, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) selected María Becerra for the honor. The artist announced her participation via social media, sharing a photo of her boarding a private flight to New York, where the final will be held at MetLife Stadium. While the choice surprised many, her supporters noted it reflected her rapid rise in the music industry. Becerra’s outfit for the rehearsal included a crop top featuring the Sol de Mayo emblem and a yellow mini skirt, though details about her attire for the match remain uncertain. Speculation suggests a more formal look may be chosen for the event. Her journey to this moment began far from the spotlight, as she built a dedicated fanbase online before transitioning to music in 2019. What initially seemed like a bold career move quickly evolved into a major phenomenon in Argentina’s music scene. In just seven years, Becerra launched a string of successful albums, earning international recognition and collaborating with global stars such as Camila Cabello, J Balvin, Enrique Iglesias, Michael Bublé, and Paris Hilton. Her breakthrough also extended to live performances, where she became the first Argentine woman to sell out two River Plate stadiums—a record that was only matched by Lali Espósito in 2025 after a two-decade career. This achievement underscored her status as a trailblazer in the industry.#argentine_football_association #metlife_stadium #2026_world_cup_final #mara_becerra #sol_de_mayo
