Argentina and Spain finalize the location of the intercontinental final

Messi and Argentina will have a highly anticipated match with Spain.

According to Marca , the Lusail Stadium in Qatar – where Lionel Messi and his teammates lifted the 2022 World Cup trophy – will be the venue for this top match on March 28, 2026. After many discussions between FIFA and UEFA leaders to find a suitable time in the already crowded competition schedule, the organization of the "Finalissima" match has finally taken shape.

The match will coincide with the 2026 World Cup intercontinental play-off round. Therefore, for the match to take place as planned, both teams need to win a place at the 2026 World Cup.

At this point, Messi's team has qualified for the finals. However, Spain still does not have a ticket to the finals. "La Roja" will have to wait until November. However, the possibility of Spain winning a ticket to the 2026 World Cup before March next year is almost certain.

Regarding the reason for choosing Qatar, a representative of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) revealed that Doha was chosen as the venue due to its convenient travel distance for both teams and mild climate conditions at the end of March.

The “Finalissima” match, restarted in 2020, is a confrontation between the two champions of the world's biggest tournaments: Copa America and Euro.

In June 2022, Argentina defeated Italy 3-0 at Wembley Stadium, England, in the first “Finalissima” match under the new format, affirming its strength after winning the 2021 Copa América.
