Argentina to play Honduras and Iceland before World Cup | OneFootball

Argentina will play friendlies against Honduras and Iceland in June in the United States as preparation for the 2026 World Cup, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) announced this Thursday.

The current world champion will face the Honduran national team on June 6 in Texas. Three days later, it will travel to Alabama for the match against Iceland, the AFA detailed on social media platform X.

Lionel Messi’s team is coming off a 5-0 thrashing of Zambia in Buenos Aires. Before that, it delivered an underwhelming performance in a 2-1 win over Mauritania.

Both matches took place in March at the iconic La Bombonera stadium and marked the national team’s farewell to its fans before traveling to North America for the World Cup.

Honduras and Iceland, meanwhile, will not take part in the tournament, which will be held from June 11 to July 19 across three host countries: the United States, Mexico and Canada.
