Security and police presence will be increased for Wednesday’s England-Argentina World Cup semifinal match in Atlanta.
The matchup is considered one of the tournament’s highest-risk games because of longstanding tensions between the two nations stemming from the 1982 Falklands War.
Videos circulating online appear to show England and Argentina fans clashing in Miami, where England played Norway over the weekend.
Atlanta police said additional personnel and resources are already in place and will continue to be strategically assigned in and around event venues for Wednesday’s match.
