Days before the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Lionel Messi’s Argentina could play a friendly match in the United States.

While negotiations continue over the date and venue for the Finalissima against Spain, Argentina are also mapping out their path toward the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Just days before the tournament begins this summer, Lionel Messi and his teammates could play a friendly in the U.S.
