“The Argentina national team has prepared everything for the next friendly matches, before the start of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.
La Albiceleste will tour Asia, they will face the Australian team in China and then Indonesia,” said leading Argentine newspaper, TyC Sports.
According to this newspaper, Messi and his teammates will face Australia on June 15 in Beijing, China.
Next, they will move to Indonesia to play a friendly match with the country's national team on June 18 or 19.
“These two matches against Asian teams will be the last friendly matches for the Argentine team before the start of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers in South America,” the writer of TyC Sports continued.
Meanwhile, Indonesia has yet to make any move in response to the Argentine press's information.
Not long ago, Vice President of the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI), Zainudin Amali, said they are considering inviting the Argentine team to play a friendly match in June this year.
“PSSI President Erick Thohir has been in contact with several federations. In June 2023, the Indonesian team will face Palestine and then possibly the Argentine team.
That is Mr. Erick Thohir's plan. Let's wait and see what happens. Of course, we will prepare backup plans," said Mr. Zainudin Amali.
