On the eve of the first leg match against Cienciano in the playoffs of the Copa Sudamericana, the Ciudad de Lanús-Néstor Díaz Pérez stadium was the scene of a new recognition for the Argentine National Team for their performance in the 2026 World Cup.
Minutes before the match began, the players coached by Mauricio Pellegrino entered the field with a flag dedicated to the national team, in a gesture that drew applause from the fans present at La Fortaleza.
The banner displayed by Lanús carried a message of recognition for all members of the Argentine delegation. Under the inscription "Thank you, National Team! Players, coaching staff, and officials," the club expressed its support for Lionel Scaloni's team after their campaign that culminated in the world runner-up title.
