Argentine press reports have revealed the date of the Argentina vs. Spain Finalisma match, amidst huge public anticipation for the first encounter between Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal.
Finalisma is a match between the Euro champion and the Copa America champion, and this will be the fourth edition in history.
UEFA announced the match would be held for the second consecutive time, after Argentina defeated Italy 3-0 at Wembley Stadium in the previous edition in 2022.
According to recent reports, the international break next March, between March 26th and 31st, has been set as the date for the anticipated match between Argentina and La Roja.
The match venue has not been determined, but it is likely to be held in Europe at a neutral venue once again.
CONMEBOL (the South American Football Confederation) wants the match to be held on its continent, but the intense pressure of the matches and the lengthy journey for both teams’ players make it more likely that it will be held in Europe again.
The last edition was held at Wembley Stadium in England, the same venue for the Euro final. This could happen again, with this edition being held in Germany at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, where Spain won their third title.
It’s worth noting that Lamine Yamal expressed his excitement for this match, as he hopes to be on the pitch for the first time face-to-face with his idol Messi.
