The Argentine national team could face Senegal in March 2026 as part of their preparation for the Finalissima against Spain. This comes after the Senegalese Football Federation informed that advanced negotiations are underway for an international friendly before the match between the Copa América and Eurocopa champions. The potential match is part of the planning of the technical team led by Lionel Scaloni, which aims to arrive at the clash against the Spanish team, winner of Euro 2024, in competitive form and after high-level international matches. Meanwhile, the possible friendly against Senegal is taking shape as a key step in the preparation of the Albiceleste. The African team is one of the strongest on the continent and a regular protagonist in international tournaments, making them a risky opponent for any team. The Finalissima will once again feature the champions of the Copa América and Eurocopa, titles that in the last edition were held by Argentina and Spain, respectively. Although official details on the venue and exact date are still pending, the match against Senegal appears to be a test of hierarchy. The African combined team is one of the strongest on the continent and usually plays a leading role in international tournaments, with an identity marked by physical intensity and tactical order. The clash between South Americans and Europeans generates great anticipation and renews a high-impact confrontation between two teams going through consolidated processes. The AFA has not yet made official confirmations, although the intention is to add high-level commitments in the lead-up to the match.
