Last friendly before 2026 World Cup: Argentina v Iceland, line-ups and TV | OneFootball

The Argentina National Team will play its final test tonight before the 2026 World Cup. Lionel Scaloni’s side will face Iceland at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Alabama, in what will be the final stop before fully shifting focus to the World Cup.

The Albiceleste arrive in high spirits after beating Honduras 2-0 in Texas at the start of their tour of the United States. For this match, Scaloni plans to make changes from Saturday with the aim of managing minutes and avoiding overload ahead of the biggest event in football.

However, the big news is the presence of captain Lionel Messi, who has recovered from a muscle issue and will be in the starting lineup to gain match fitness. In addition, the return in midfield of the untouchable core is expected: Rodrigo De Paul, Enzo Fernández, and Alexis Mac Allister.

Argentina will play its final friendly before the 2026 World Cup.

Iceland, meanwhile, failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup after finishing third in their European Qualifiers group, and are coming off a 1-0 loss to Japan. The only previous meeting between the two teams was a memorable 1-1 draw in their opening match at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
