Overview
- Plans call for the continental champions to meet on March 27 or 28, with Lusail Stadium in Doha favored but not yet confirmed.
- FIFA’s 2026 international windows are set for March 23–31 and June 1–9, framing the Finalissima and final tune‑ups before the World Cup.
- The only potential hurdle is a March playoff if Spain fails to qualify directly, a scenario viewed as unlikely as Spain leads its group and can clinch against Georgia.
- Argentina closed its 2025 slate with a 2–0 win over Angola and now turns to the World Cup draw on December 5 to finalize travel and preparation plans.
- An additional March friendly is expected alongside the Finalissima, with reported interest from France in a matchup still to be determined.
