Mauritania confirmed as Argentina’s friendly for this FIFA break | OneFootball

The national team will face the African side on March 27 at La Bombonera, while the second match is still a mystery. The AFA has not yet ruled out playing against Guatemala.

It’s official: after missing out on the Finalissima against Spain, the Argentina National Team will finally play two friendlies during this double FIFA date. The matches are scheduled for March 27 and 31 at La Bombonera, and the opponents will be confirmed this Friday.

This was announced by the official account of the reigning world and two-time American champions: “In the coming hours, the opponents for Lionel Scaloni’s team’s two friendlies during this March FIFA window will be announced.”

Although more and more voices are ruling out Guatemala for the second preparatory match at Boca’s stadium, since they have a scheduled match with Algeria in Italy in seven days and FIFA regulations would not allow them to play on two different continents in the same international window, the AFA has not given up and remains optimistic after requesting a special authorization.

The first opponent for Argentina will be African. It won’t be as much of a test of character for the Albiceleste as Spain would have been, but it will serve Lionel Scaloni as a testing ground to experiment, adjust, and find the ideal team with less than three months to go before the 2026 World Cup.

Once released by their clubs, the players called up to the National Team will start arriving in the country between the weekend and the start of the following week and will train under the coaching staff at the Ezeiza complex.
