Argentina confirm two friendlies just weeks before the 2026 World Cup | OneFootball

The 2026 World Cup is just around the corner. There are nine months left until the big event and the Argentine National Team already has several commitments that will serve as preparation. In addition to the friendly matches to be played in October, two more matches have been added against Mexico and Honduras, which will take place in the week leading up to the start of the tournament in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

The albiceleste team signed an agreement and will play them between June 1 and 9, both in the United States, as was expected. While no cities have been confirmed, it is estimated that they will be in Miami and Las Vegas. The idea of playing a friendly match in Argentina as a farewell heading to the World Cup is still standing. In that case, there is a chance that it will be played in March, waiting for what happens with the Finalissima.

On this, Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia responded: "Although the date in March is still pending, the friendly matches prior to the June World Cup with Mexico and Honduras are confirmed. The stadiums are still to be defined." In addition, he referred to the overdue final with Spain, about which nothing is assured: "We have the possibility of playing it and we have the obligation to achieve one more title,"

The team led by Lionel Scaloni is waiting for the commitments that are coming in a few weeks. First Venezuela, on Friday, October 10 at the Hard Rock Stadium, in Florida. Puerto Rico is the next opponent they will face on Monday, October 13, at Soldier Field, in Chicago.
