Finalissima off, Argentina to play Guatemala in Buenos Aires friendly | OneFootball

La Albiceleste has found an opponent and will play at home on March 31.

The uncertainty is over for the Argentina National Team. After the Finalissima against Spain was suspended, Lionel Scaloni and his coaching staff have already decided how the team’s training week will be, since they will only be able to play one friendly match.

In the end, La Albiceleste will not travel anywhere and will stay at the AFA complex to complete a week of training, awaiting a friendly match against the Guatemala National Team, scheduled for March 31, with the stadium yet to be confirmed.

“See you in Argentina! After the cancellation of the Finalissima, Lionel Scaloni’s squad will travel to the country to carry out a week of intense group training and play a friendly match on Tuesday the 31st against Guatemala. In the coming days, the training schedule, the squad list for this FIFA date, and the stadium will be announced,” the Argentina National Team reported on its official website.

In the next few days, Scaloni will announce the final squad list, and starting next week, the players will join training for the last FIFA date before the World Cup. There, the coach will finalize his decisions to complete the list of 26 called-up players.

When considering this list, it is expected that the coach will take into account the players he has been calling up recently. One of the uncertainties will be the presence of Lautaro Martínez, as he is still recovering from a muscle injury that has troubled him since February.

Argentina will reach the World Cup without facing European teams

Due to the cancellation of the Finalissima, the Argentina National Team will have a strange preparation for the World Cup, as they have not faced any European opponents since the end of the World Cup. Their last match against a team from the old continent was against France in Qatar 2022.
