Kelci-Rose Bowers found herself in an unusual position ahead of the World Cup 2026 semifinal between England and Argentina. The 22-year-old English footballer explained that she will support Argentina because her partner, Marcos Senesi, is part of the squad that will seek to reach the final.
The story drew attention because Bowers is English and the match pits her country against her husband’s team. According to LADbible, they met while playing at Bournemouth, she on the women’s team and he on the men’s team. Senesi was called up for the World Cup after Leonardo Balerdi’s injury.
Kelci-Rose defended her stance with a simple idea. In a relationship, you support your partner, and that is why she has worn the Argentina shirt during the tournament. She also clarified that she respects England and wants to enjoy the match without turning her support into a fight.
