FIFA president Gianni Infantino publicly apologized to coach Lionel Scaloni for being asked to wear gloves while holding the golden trophy at the 2026 World Cup draw.
Following the group stage draw, coach Lionel Scaloni stated it is too early to discuss a potential knockout stage encounter between Argentina and Spain at the 2026 World Cup.
From 2026, Argentina's domestic football leagues will award up to 8 titles, with many overlapping competitions and formats constantly changing at the whims of administrators.
Ahead of their intercontinental super cup match in 3/2026, Argentina and Spain are considering additional friendly games to boost revenue and maintain player form.
