## Summary

Rosalía has apologised to Argentine fans after reposting content mocking their team following Spain's win over Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. The Spanish singer shared a clip from influencer Mia Khalifa that used Rosalía's song "La Perla" to taunt Argentina, prompting anger from Latin American fans, some of whom threatened to boycott her upcoming Buenos Aires concert.

The final took place on 19 July in New Jersey, with Spain defeating Argentina. Rosalía reposted a now-deleted Instagram Story from Khalifa referencing the defeated "perlas" before quickly apologising, saying she hadn't read the caption and only had "love for Argentina." Reaction was mixed: many Argentine fans called the apology insincere and too late, threatening to skip her Movistar Arena show on 1 August, while other fans defended her against what they called excessive backlash.
