Argentina faces a brand new opponent on Friday when it welcomes African minnows Mauritania to Buenos Aires for a friendly match.
La Albiceleste had been scheduled to play the 2026 edition of La Finalissima against European champions Spain, but the event, which was set to be staged in Qatar, was canceled due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Instead, they now take on FIFA’s 115th-ranked nation in the first of two March friendlies.
