Overview
- Multiple outlets citing Marca report the match is slated for Saturday, March 28, 2026 at Lusail Stadium in Doha, where Argentina won the 2022 World Cup.
- FIFA has reportedly assigned the fixture priority for that day, meaning no other international games would be scheduled.
- The targeted date sits within the March international window reserved for World Cup playoffs, so any Spain playoff obligation would force a change.

- UEFA, CONMEBOL and FIFA have not issued formal confirmation, and logistics including team travel and ticketing are still to be finalized.
