"Where is the 2026 Finalissima? The 2026 Finalissima will be staged in Qatar at the Lusail Stadium. That was the scene for the epic World Cup final between Argentina and France, which saw La Albiceleste prevail on penalties after an absorbing 3-3 draw. Spain did not play at the Lusail Stadium in the 2022 World Cup, which they exited in the last 16."
"The meeting between Argentina and Spain will mark the first between Messi and Spain star Lamine Yamal. Yamal has taken the mantle from Messi as the leading light at Barcelona, helping them to a LaLiga and Copa del Rey double last season. That campaign followed victory for Spain at Euro 2024, which Yamal lit up as he won the award for Best Young Player."
Argentina will play Spain in the 2026 Finalissima at Lusail Stadium in Qatar, the venue of Argentina's 2022 World Cup victory. The match will kick off at 9pm local time (6pm UK) on March 27, 2026. The fixture marks the first potential encounter between Lionel Messi and Spain teenager Lamine Yamal, who starred for Barcelona and helped Spain win Euro 2024 as Best Young Player. Messi, now 38 and playing for Inter Miami, could have limited opportunities to face Yamal, as the only other meeting at global tournaments would require both teams to reach a World Cup final.
