Argentina set sights on Venezuela and Ecuador | OneFootball

The Argentina National Team held its first practice ahead of the double round of South American Qualifiers, where it will host Venezuela and visit Ecuador.

The Argentina National Team had its first training session this Monday in preparation for the double round of South American Qualifiers on the road to the 2026 World Cup, where it will face Venezuela this Thursday and Ecuador on Tuesday, September 9.

Although several names from the prestigious list provided by Lionel Scaloni, head coach of the Albiceleste, have yet to arrive in the country, some of them took part in the first practice at the Lionel Messi Training Complex of the AFA in Ezeiza.

Some players who arrived in the country on Sunday were able to do some work on the pitch, while those who landed on Monday, such as Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul—who played in the final of the Leagues Cup with Inter Miami, losing 3-0 to the Seattle Sounders—watched from the sidelines, sharing laughs and mate.

Later on, Lautaro Martínez and Giovanni Lo Celso joined the training camp. On the other hand, both Emiliano Martínez and Nicolás González, the newest signing for Atlético de Madrid, are expected to arrive in the country for Tuesday’s practice.
