The Finalissima between Argentina and Spain could become one of the most anticipated matches in international soccer. After the Albiceleste's defeat against the Red Fury in the 2026 World Cup final, thousands of fans began to wonder if both teams will face each other again and when the expected rematch might come. Both national teams will face off in the Finalissima, but when will this match be? We'll give you the details.
The possibility of seeing Argentina and Spain face each other again has excited thousands of fans, especially those of Lionel Scaloni's team, because this would represent an opportunity to take revenge after the tough defeat in the FIFA World Cup against the squad managed by Luis de la Fuente Castillo.
Currently, the World Cup final is still being talked about, and the controversy continues among Argentines, Spaniards, and fans from dozens of countries who continue to criticize the behavior of Messi and other Albiceleste players, who were singled out for turning their backs on the Spanish National Team when it was receiving the Cup.
¿Cuándo podría jugarse la Finalissima entre Argentina y España?
So far, UEFA and CONMEBOL have not announced an official date for the next Finalissima. However, various reports indicate that the match could be played between November 9 and 17, 2026.
However, during this period the Spanish national team already has matches scheduled corresponding to the UEFA Nations League group stage, so it is unlikely that it will happen.
Other options to play the Finalissima would be from September 21 to October 6, but if an agreement is not reached, the rematch between Argentina vs. Spain might not happen until 2027.
The choice of the date will depend on factors such as:
- El calendario internacional.
- Las eliminatorias rumbo al siguiente Mundial.
- La disponibilidad de ambas selecciones.
- Los acuerdos entre UEFA, Conmebol y FIFA.
¿Qué es la Finalissima?
The Finalissima is a tournament organized jointly by UEFA and CONMEBOL that pits the winner of the European Championship against the winner of the Copa América. The contest was resumed in 2022, when Argentina beat Italy 3-0 at Wembley Stadium in England, with an outstanding performance by Lionel Messi.
Now, the next duel would face Argentina (2024 Copa América champion) and Spain (2024 European Championship champion).
Let's remember that the Finalissima was scheduled to be played on March 27 at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar, but it was canceled due to the war conflicts in the Middle East, so its rescheduling remained pending.
¿Jugará Lionel Messi la Finalissima?
Lionel Messi's participation will depend on several factors, including:
-If he continues to be called up by the Argentine National Team.
-His physical condition.
-The decisions of the coaching staff.
