The president of the Argentine Football Federation, Claudio Tapia, has just confirmed that the two sides will organize a friendly match in the third quarter of next year. The specific time has not been announced. But it is likely that the friendly match in Singapore will take place during FIFA Days.
It is not yet clear which team Argentina will face in Singapore. The national team is likely to be involved, but this information has not been verified.
Meanwhile, from the Indian side, national football officials have confirmed that they will let the national team play a friendly match with Argentina in October 2025.
That means the defeated team of the Vietnamese team (India lost 0-3 at Thong Nhat Stadium) will have the opportunity to face the strongest team in the world , the reigning World Cup champion. If Singapore sends its national team to play a friendly match, the team that lost to Vietnam twice in the semi-finals of the ASEAN Cup 2024 will also have the opportunity to expand its name through the confrontation with Argentina next year.

This is not the first time Messi has been to Singapore with the national team. In 2017, he was invited to play a friendly match. But that trip left Messi with a bad image in this island nation because just a few hours after landing in Singapore, he left the country to prepare for his wedding.
The sponsor faced a wave of fierce protests from fans, claiming that this was an unavoidable event and therefore would not compensate for tickets to the match. In the end, the match went ahead and, despite Messi's absence, Argentina still completely dominated the home team. In the end, they defeated the Singapore team with a score of 6-0.
In 2023, Argentina went to Indonesia for a friendly match. However, at that time, the team could not bring Messi. The last time the 38-year-old superstar played in Southeast Asia was in 2013, when he and Barcelona beat Thailand 7-1.
