"AS" reported that the location and date of the European and American Cup matches between Spain and Argentina will be officially announced soon (expected to be March 27, possibly in Qatar), but before that, all parties are working hard to finalize an agreement to arrange another match for the two national teams within the same international competition window.
This will be a friendly match between the two teams after the European and American Cups. This move will also have a positive impact on the finances of the four governing bodies that organize the European and American Cups. These four governing bodies are the Spanish Football Federation, the Argentine Football Association, UEFA and South American Football Confederation.
This is a joint commercial operation in which Spain and Argentina are packaged as a whole, which has a huge appeal to their potential opponents, because being able to welcome a team with Messi and Yamal months before the start of the World Cup is a huge selling point. Apart from a possible test match scheduled a few days before the start of the World Cup, this will be the last significant friendly match between the two teams that are favorites to win the World Cup.
This situation is arousing the strong interest of many national teams to compete with Argentina and Spain, such as Qatar, which is initially designated as the host of the European and American Cup, and Saudi Arabia. Even Saudi Arabia has not given up on hosting the Spain-Argentina match, despite Qatar's advantage.
One possible option is that a few days after the European and American Cup, one team will play against the Qatar team in Qatar and the other team will play against the Saudi team in Saudi Arabia. Both are teams that have participated in the World Cup and are very interested in football and investing in big events. Additionally, they have yet to confirm any friendly matches during this international break.
In contrast, it seems more complicated for the strong European teams to compete with Spain or Argentina. The German team has confirmed a game with Cote d'Ivoire, France will go to the United States to face Brazil and Venezuela, Portugal will also go to the United States, and its opponents are Mexico and the United States. The Brazilian team has arranged a game against France and another game against Croatia in the United States.
For Argentina and Spain, the most convenient solution is to play a second friendly match with a team from the Middle East.
