The Argentine national team will face Zambia this Tuesday. This will be their last match before the start of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, where they will go in search of their fourth star. The match, scheduled for 20:15, will take place at the Alberto J. Armando Stadium, better known as "La Bombonera". It will be covered live by the Argentine News Agency and can be watched on Telefe and DSports. The Argentine team arrives at this match after a very poor performance in their 2-1 victory over Mauritania, a match they won thanks to goals from Enzo Fernández and Nico Paz, while the Africans scored through Jordan Lefort. In the first half, the team led by Lionel Scaloni dominated without complications, but in the second half, they had a poor performance, being dominated by a third-tier team that deservedly pulled a goal back in the last minute. The day after this match, the "Scaloneta" played a friendly against the U-20 team, winning 1-0 thanks to a goal from José Manuel López, a forward who plays for Palmeiras in Brazil. Although Scaloni has not yet confirmed the starting XI for the last match of this March international window, the big question mark is over Lionel Messi and the possibility that he will be a substitute again or come off the bench, as happened against Mauritania. This will be the Argentine national team's last match until the 2026 World Cup, where they will be in Group J with Algeria, Austria, and Jordan.
