The Argentine National Team will return to the scene of its greatest glory. After the official confirmation of the date for the Finalissima 2026 against Spain, the AFA and the Qatar National Team have announced a second commitment in Arab territory. In this way, Lionel Scaloni's team will take advantage of the March FIFA window to compete for an official title and a high-level rehearsal before the World Cup.

The Main Event: The Finalissima against Spain

On Friday, March 27, the champions of America and Europe will face off at the Lusail Stadium in Doha. The clash between the Albiceleste and the "Red Fury" will put the trophy that Argentina already won in 2022 at stake. It will be a return full of mystique to the stadium where Lionel Messi lifted the World Cup after the final against France.

Tour Finale against the Host

Just four days later, on March 31, the Scaloneta will conclude its Middle East tour with a friendly against the Qatar National Team, with the venue yet to be confirmed (although Lusail is again the likely choice). This match is part of the Qatar Football Festival, an event that will bring together several international teams. For Argentina, these matches represent the last great opportunity to fine-tune tactical details before the World Cup debut in June.
