Argentina will face Angola in a friendly match as part of the 50th anniversary of the African country's independence. The game will take place on Friday at 13:00 (Argentine time) at the 11 de Novembro stadium in Luanda. The Argentine team arrives in Angola after a successful international tour, securing victories over Venezuela (1-0) and Puerto Rico (6-0). Coach Lionel Scaloni plans to field a strong team with an attacking trio of Lionel Messi, Lautaro Martínez, and Thiago Almada. Ahead of the match, the coaching staff had to make several last-minute changes to the squad. Julián Álvarez, Nahuel Molina, and Giuliano Simeone were left out due to not completing the necessary health procedures related to the yellow fever vaccine, a mandatory requirement to enter the African country. Enzo Fernández will also not be traveling with the team as he continues his recovery in England. The match will be broadcast live by TyC Sports and Telefé. For Angola, this match is an opportunity to test their strength against the world champions and celebrate with their fans.
