In Spain they revealed when the Finalissima will be played against the Argentine National Team: “It will be …”

Rafael Louzán, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, gave details of the pending crossing between the Scaloneta and La Roja. In addition, he highlighted the “extraordinary cordiality” with the AFA.

Several months have passed since The Argentine and Spain National Team were enshrined in their respective continents. The finalissima between them was expected last year, but finally it did not happen. Nor will this 2025 be done by the busy calendar, So 2026 seems to have all the numbers and from Iberian lands advanced when it could be played.

Rafael Louzán, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, revealed that there were several talks with his couple Claudio Tapia to try to accommodate this crossing for the title next season: “We are talking and gathering. We are working for it by Conmebol and UEFA. I hope we can say dates and place very soon. There is an extraordinary cordiality between AFA and the RFEF. We are on the right and correct path to see the game we are looking forward to.”

While there is still no exact date, the top Spanish leader revealed that there is a time limit: “It will be before the World Cup. The idea is to be before the World Cup, because it is when it would correspond”. And passed the ball to the organizers: “We are going to let those who have in charge of this facet can solve it as soon as possible.”

In turn, Louzán highlighted the level that his selection and that of Argentina have been exhibiting, which crushed 3-0 to Italy in the 2022 final in Wembley: “The world champion and the European champion are now at an extraordinary moment. Seeing that game would be a very large incentive and millions of spectators in the world are waiting for him.”

In the last FIFA Congress in Paraguay, which took place in May, a meeting was held between AFA leaders, RFEF, Conmebol and UEFA to coordinate the next cross between the champion of the Copa América and La Eurocup. In that meeting they did not define a headquarters or date, But it is clear that the duel will not be in South America and it could happen to Europe or the United States.

Because in October the albiceleste has scheduled friendly, while Spain will continue with the loaded agenda, March next year appears as the only viable option, despite the proximity to the World Cup. For now it does not seem to have the endorsement of the technical bodies, but, as Scaloni already said, the decision is made by others: “From the finalissima I don't know anything. This year we already know that it is complicated and next year I do not know, especially because the World Cup is. We will see what decision they make those who really tell. We in the end already know that we count little.”
