US EditionArgentina and Spain to face off in 2026 'Finalissima' in Qatar
- On March 27, 2026, the Local Organising Committee for Football Events announced Lusail Stadium, Qatar, will host the men’s Finalissima featuring Argentina national team, 2024 Copa America champions, and Spain national team, Euro 2024 winners.
- The matchup follows the tournaments that determined each continental champion, pairing the Copa America 2024 winner with the Euro 2024 winner in the rare Finalissima competition staged only four times.
- Yamal, 18, who has been compared to Messi, said last month, `He also knows I am a player and I respect him, so it's mutual respect.` as images of them resurfaced during Euro 2024.
- As a warm‑up ahead of the World Cup, the match comes months before next summer's World Cup, with both Argentina and Spain named among the favourites for that tournament.
- Beyond this match, Qatar's hosting of a 48‑team U‑17 World Cup with 104 matches highlights Lusail Stadium's ongoing global significance, while Argentina are the defending champions.
