Maxi López to Head to U.S. for 2026 World Cup Coverage

A reported TV contract will send López to the United States as his partner completes relocation and pet-permit arrangements in Switzerland.

Overview

  • Argentine outlets report López has been contracted by a TV channel to travel to the United States to cover the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and he is preparing to depart soon.
  • Daniela Christiansson is in Switzerland handling administrative tasks tied to a permanent move to Argentina, including arranging permissions to bring the family dog.
  • Separation rumors grew after Christiansson traveled alone, and López posted a joint photo of the couple in an Argentina-themed jersey with Argentine and Swiss flags that media say eased speculation.
  • Before his planned departure, López spent a final outing with his three older sons at River Plate's Monumental to experience the club's interactive 'River Inmersivo' after an invitation from businessman Guillermo Marín.
  • The couple has rented a home in Nordelta and say they are working to consolidate a blended family life in Argentina, a project that will require short-term travel for López and continued paperwork and moves for Christiansson.
