The match, scheduled to take place at La Bombonera Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is set for a kickoff time of 7:15 p.m. ET / 4:15 p.m. PT, which corresponds to 8:15 p.m. local time in Buenos Aires. This game marks Argentina’s attempt to continue its warm-up schedule ahead of the upcoming World Cup, which is set to begin in June. The match was originally planned as part of the Finalissima event, where Argentina was set to face Spain, the 2024 European champions. However, the event was postponed due to the ongoing West Asia conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel. With the rescheduling, Argentina will now play on home soil under the leadership of captain Lionel Messi, aiming to fine-tune its strategies for the global tournament. For viewers in the United States, the game will be broadcast on beIN SPORTS, beIN SPORTS en Español, and beIN CONNECT, with streaming options available through Fanatiz and ViX Premium. However, the match will not be streamed or broadcast in India. Fans in the country can follow the game in real-time via Sportstar’s blog. The friendly match serves as an opportunity for Argentina to test its squad and maintain momentum before the high-stakes World Cup campaign. The absence of a major international fixture like the Finalissima has shifted the focus to these preparatory games, highlighting the team’s commitment to readiness for the tournament.#lionel_messi #argentina #fifa_world_cup_2026 #la_bombonera_stadium #mauritania
