💥 AFA issue ultimatum: new counter-offer for the Finalissima 2026 | OneFootball

The staging of the Finalissima between Argentina and Spain hangs by a thread. In recent hours, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) has presented a final counteroffer to UEFA and CONMEBOL to resolve the calendar conflict. The stance from Viamonte Street is firm: the match must be played on March 31, 2026, or else the commitment will be canceled.

The condition of a neutral venue

In addition to the unchangeable date, the organization led by Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia has demanded that the match be held at a neutral stadium. This measure seeks to avoid any home advantage for the European champion and to guarantee fair logistical conditions for players competing in different leagues around the world.

The future of the trophy at stake

With the 2026 World Cup just around the corner, time is of the essence. The AFA is awaiting an immediate response from European authorities, warning that there will be no further negotiations. The Scaloneta is looking to defend the title won in 2022, but only under the terms proposed by the national leadership.
