The Argentina national team will celebrate their World Cup victory on Tuesday in Buenos Aires at the Obelisk, the monument traditionally the epicenter of sports celebrations, the federation said on Monday.
“The squad of the world champions will leave for the Obelisk at noon on Tuesday to celebrate the world title with the fans,” the Argentine Football Association (AFA) said on its official Twitter account.
The national team, which defeated France on Sunday, will arrive in the country in the early hours of Tuesday on a state-owned airline flight and spend the night at the federation’s training center near the airport, according to local media reports.
