The AFA confirmed that the Argentine National Team will play against Guatemala at La Bombonera

The Argentine National Football Team will face Guatemala in a friendly match at La Bombonera on March 31, following the suspension of another match against Spain.

After the suspension of the final match that was to take place at the end of the month against Spain, Argentina's national football team has scheduled a friendly match against Guatemala, to be held at the Bombonera stadium on March 31. This match is expected to serve as a farewell for Lionel Messi and the team's coach, Lionel Scaloni, before the upcoming World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

The announcement is particularly significant as it indicates Messi’s probable exit from the national team after the World Cup plays out. The AFA’s confirmation of the venue, which comes after much speculation, adds to the excitement surrounding the event. Fans are eagerly anticipating Messi’s involvement and the performance of the team, as they prepare to defend their title obtained in Qatar in 2022.

As the date approaches, attention will also focus on Scaloni's selection of players, where a preliminary roster will be revealed for this friendly match. This event not only offers an opportunity for fans to say goodbye to Messi but also allows the team to fine-tune their preparations for the World Cup, ensuring they are ready to compete at the highest level on the international stage.
