Overview
- UEFA canceled the March 27 Spain–Argentina Finalissima in Qatar citing the regional political and security situation.
- Argentina had announced a March 31 home friendly against Guatemala at La Bombonera and explored a March 27 game, reportedly against Honduras.
- ESPN and Argentine reporter Esteban Edul now report both friendlies are off because Guatemala and Honduras already booked European fixtures, triggering FIFA’s ban on playing on two continents in one window.
- With no matches confirmed, the AFA is seeking alternative opponents—particularly African teams—or weighing internal solutions as the squad begins work at Ezeiza.
- Lionel Scaloni named a 28‑player list featuring Lionel Messi and first‑time call‑ups Tomás Palacios and Gabriel Rojas, while Senegal declined late overtures to change its existing schedule.
