Argentina's national team plays its final friendly against Zambia at La Bombonera before the 2026 World Cup, aiming for their fourth title.


Argentina faces Zambia in final pre-World Cup 2026 match

The Argentine national team will face Zambia this Tuesday, which will be their last match before the start of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, where they will be seeking their fourth star. The match, scheduled for 20:15, will take place at the Alberto J. Armando stadium, better known as 'La Bombonera'. The Argentine national team comes into this match after a poor performance in the 2-1 victory over Mauritania, in which they prevailed thanks to goals from Enzo Fernández and Nico Paz, while the Africans pulled one back through Jordan Lefort. It is likely that several names who featured in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will start in the duel against the African combination, with the aim of closing the tour in Argentina with their ideas a little clearer. This will be the last match for the Argentine national team until the 2026 World Cup, where they will be in Group J with Algeria, Austria, and Jordan.
