Argentina’s World Cup victory celebrations turned into riots. After the victory parade of the World Cup, there was a clash between Argentine football fans and the police on Tuesday night. According to local media, the clash occurred when the police tried to remove two supporters who had climbed the obelisk monument in Buenos Aires.
When supporters wearing Argentina jerseys started pelting stones, more police were deployed there. In the Reuters video, a group is seen breaking down the gate of the bank, taking some goods from inside, and loading them into a van. In Buenos Aires, captain Lionel Messi and the team were planning to travel for 8 hours in an open-top bus with the trophy.
The crowd of supporters gathered in large numbers suddenly became chaotic, forcing the Argentine Football Association to reconsider. In view of the security challenges, a visit to Venus Ayers in the sporting city of Oblesk was conducted by helicopter. The Argentine government declared a public holiday on Tuesday in celebration of winning the World Cup. According to local media, more than 400,000 people with Argentina jerseys and flags are set to welcome their players.
