TThe 2026 FIFA World Cup is approaching. The official draw took place last week, with all known teams placed into specific groups. There is no general consensus on which is the “Group of Death”, but most believe that the strongest group could be France, Norway, Senegal, and Bolivia/Suriname/Iraq if they were fighting together.
On the other side of the coin, many believe that Argentina, the defending champions, won one of the easiest groups possible. The opening match of the tournament will be against Algeria, followed by Austria and Jordan. Things could get difficult for Lionel Messi and his team in the finals, but they are far from there. A friendly match against one of the aforementioned World Cup squads has been floated as a possibility, with the idea of building up their form ahead of the tournament.

Argentina vs Senegal friendly match scheduled for March 2026
According to the Senegalese Football Federation, they have received an offer from Argentina for a friendly match in March. Saudi Arabia are also trying to organize a friendly against Senegal, but Argentina will probably take priority.
The idea of a match against Senegal is good news for Argentina, given that they need strong competition to prepare for the World Cup. There are no other matches scheduled until March, and the final against Spain has not yet been decided. This is obviously an additional match and not a replacement for Finalissima, but the situation is fluid at the moment.
