Ángela Aguilar Posts Gender Violence Message After World Cup Final

After the World Cup 2026 final ended with Spain defeating Argentina, singer Ángela Aguilar did not comment on the result. Instead, she posted an Instagram story with the message: 'Terminó el mundial, pero la violencia sigue' (The World Cup is over, but violence continues), crediting the account @werwomenonfire Source: infobae. This marks a sharp contrast from her reaction after the 2022 World Cup, when she celebrated Argentina's victory and declared herself '25% argentina' Source: mileniomx.

The controversy revisited

Aguilar's 2022 statement sparked widespread criticism and has been frequently referenced since, especially during Argentina's matches. After the 2026 final, users on social media brought up the '25% argentina' quote again, comparing her to other celebrities who supported Argentina, such as Yordi Rosado, a Mexican TV host who celebrated Argentina's semifinal win Source: infobae. Rosado's celebration was met with mockery, with netizens using the phrase '25% like Ángela Aguilar' Source: infobae. Meanwhile, Argentine-born actor Juan Soler's support was seen as more natural Source: infobae.

Aguilar's silence and a new message

This time, Aguilar chose not to align herself with any team, instead using her platform to raise awareness about gender-based violence Source: mileniomx. The message highlights that while the tournament ended, the issue of violence continues. Aguilar does have Argentine ancestry through her maternal grandmother, Eva Mendoza, which she has previously cited as the reason for her connection to Argentina Source: infobae.
