The Argentine soccer team begins its work this Monday with a view to the duels of the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup against Uruguay and Brazil, two of their most complicated rivals today.
With the exception of Lionel Messi, who arrived this Sunday, the team led by Lionel Scaloni has been concentrating since this Monday on the grounds of the Argentine Football Association (AFA).) in Ezeiza (province of Buenos Aires), named after the captain after winning the title at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Argentina will play against Uruguay on November 16 at the Alberto J. Armando Stadium, ‘La Bombonera’the Boca Juniors stadium, due to the concerts that the American singer Taylor Swift offered this week on the River Plate field, the team’s usual ‘home’ in Buenos Aires.
Later they will travel to Brazil, where they will face the host on the 21st, with the indelible memory of the last meeting between the two: that duel suspended on September 5, 2021, corresponding to the Qatar 2022 qualifiers, in the midst of the covid-19 pandemic. Argentina leads the qualifying rounds with 12 points, after four consecutive victories, while Uruguay and Brazil – along with Venezuela – are their pursuers, with 7 points.
