Argentina Closes First Qualifying Phase in Panama With Full Squad Back

A win would lift the points Argentina carries into the second stage and strengthen its push to reach the 2027 World Cup after missing the 2023 tournament.

Overview

  • Argentina visits Panama on Sunday night in Estadio Roberto Durán for the sixth and final Group D game, which kicks off at 21:10 Argentina time.
  • Both teams have already secured advancement from Group D, so the match matters mainly for momentum and for half the first-stage points that will be carried into the second stage.
  • Coach Pablo Prigioni named a 14-player list for the window that includes returning guards Nicolás Laprovíttola and Leandro Bolmaro and leaves final cuts to decide the 12 who play.
  • The game will be shown live on DSports and TyC Sports 2 and streamed on DGO, Flow, Telecentro Play, TyC Sports Play and Courtside 1891.
  • Under the qualifying format the top three from Group D join the top three from Group B in the second stage, teams carry over 50% of first-stage points, and seven World Cup places will be decided across windows through early 2027.
