Video/ Physical fight between fans in New York before the Argentina-Algeria

The atmosphere of the 2026 World Cup is heated not only on the field, but also off it.

On the eve of the first Group J match between Argentina and Algeria, fans of the two teams have been involved in physical altercations in the heart of New York.

The clash took place in Times Square, where hundreds of supporters of both teams had gathered to celebrate and create atmosphere before the match.

The situation spiraled out of control when tensions erupted between some fans, which then turned into physical fights, causing panic among those present. According to images published on social media, women and children were also in the area.

The incident adds to other cases of clashes between fans that have been recorded during the first days of the World Cup, raising concerns about security during the tournament.

Meanwhile, the sporting attention remains on the Argentina-Algeria duel, which will be played in the early hours of Wednesday. For the world champions, this challenge has a special importance, as Lionel Messi is expected to record his 200th appearance with the national team jersey.

After the historic triumph at the Qatar World Cup, the Argentine captain aims to start another world adventure with victory, while Algeria hopes to surprise one of the tournament's main favorites.
