  • The Finalissima match between Argentina and Spain, scheduled for March, was suspended due to the Middle East War.
  • Both teams qualified by winning the 2024 Copa Amรฉrica and EuroCup, respectively.
  • The game could be rescheduled for September or November 2026, following Spain's World Cup final victory over Argentina.

The highly anticipated Finalissima match between Argentina and Spain remains pending, with potential new dates being considered for later in 2026. The game, which pits the winners of the 2024 Copa Amรฉrica and EuroCup against each other, was originally slated for March but was suspended due to the ongoing Middle East War.

Spain emerged as the victor of the 2026 World Cup, defeating Argentina in the final. This outcome has reignited discussions about rescheduling the Finalissima, potentially framing it as a "revenge" match. International windows in September (Oct. 21 - Nov. 6) and November (Nov. 9 - Nov. 17) are being explored as possibilities for the game to take place.

Argentina secured their spot in the Finalissima by winning the Copa Amรฉrica in 2024, their second consecutive title. Spain qualified by winning the EuroCup in the same year. The Finalissima itself is a successor to the defunct Artemio Franchi Cup, with the last edition held in June 2022, where Argentina defeated Italy.

Spain won the EuroCup for the fourth time in 2024 and qualified for the Finalissima, a match that remains pending.
