Following the Finalissima, Argentina will remain in Qatar for an additional friendly match. The team will face Qatar national team on March 31 at Lusail Stadium. The kickoff time for that match has not yet been confirmed.
In total, Argentina will spend eight days in Qatar, combining training sessions with the two international matches.
At the end of May, the coaching staff is expected to announce the final 26-player squad for the FIFA World Cup.
The final FIFA international window before the tournament will take place between June 1 and June 9. During that period, Argentina is scheduled to play two preparatory matches, although the opponents have not yet been confirmed.
The 2026 World Cup will officially begin on June 11, marking the start of Argentina’s title defense on the world’s biggest stage.
