Argentina faces Spain in the “Finalisma” in Qatar

Qatar will host the “Finalisma” final between Argentina and Spain, on March 27, 2026, on the grounds of the Lusail World Cup Stadium in Qatar, according to what the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy announced on Thursday.

The 2024 Latin American champion, the Togolese national team, faces its Spanish counterpart, who won the European Nations Championship in Germany last summer.

Argentina holds the record for the number of Copa America crowns (16 titles), while the La Roja national team stands on the throne of the Old Continent with four titles.

Messi and Yamal

The confrontation between the defending champions of the previous edition, Argentina against Spain, will be very special given the great similarity between the two football schools.

Argentina won the “Finalisma” Cup three years ago, when it beat Italy 3-0 at Wembley Stadium in London.

The two stars, Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal, are at the forefront of the scene, as the Barcelona legend is the ideal role model for the current No. 10 holder for the Catalan club.

Messi has not lost much of his sparkle despite his advanced age, as his name was recorded in golden letters in the American League register recently.

Leo led Inter Miami to beat Vancouver, Canada, in the Audi Cup final.

For his part, Lamine Yamal, a rising talent in Spanish football, takes advantage of the opportunity to overthrow the world champions and confirm his brilliance in the major matches.

The Argentines will return to a stadium they know well, as they won the World Cup championship on Lusail Stadium in 2022.

Messi and his teammates lifted the third title in their history, after beating the French team on penalties in the final match, which ended in a 3-3 draw in regular and extra time.
