Flight cancelled: Burkina Faso stranded, Benin may bring match forward | OneFootball

Lionel Messi's farewell with the Argentina National Team could undergo a last-minute change regarding their opponent. Originally, La Albiceleste was scheduled to face Burkina Faso this Saturday at 9:00 p.m. at the Monumental Stadium; however, an unexpected commercial flight cancellation left the African squad stranded in Morocco. Given this logistical setback, the federation is considering a date swap with Benin, the national team that was initially set to close out the FIFA window.

If this change goes through, Benin would move up its appearance to take this Saturday’s slot. Meanwhile, Burkina Faso, which is scrambling to find alternatives through a charter flight to resolve the situation, would instead play on Tuesday, October 6. If the change is made official, the Burkinabè would end up being the opponents for the Argentine captain’s “last dance” in front of his home crowd.
