Finalissima, which was supposed to be contested between Argentina and Spain in Qatar, has been canceled. CONMEBOL chief: "Argentina is a double champion"

The Finalissima 2026, the much-anticipated match between Spain and Argentina, scheduled for March 27 in Lusail, was canceled last week due to the outbreak of war in the Middle East. Initially, UEFA proposed moving the match to the Bernabeu stadium, but the Argentinians did not agree to this location.

The president of CONMEBOL, Alejandro Dominguez, accused Spain of not showing up, which led to the proclamation of Argentina as "double champion," after winning the first edition of the Finalissima in 2022, against Italy. This situation generated controversy and dissatisfaction among fans and officials, highlighting the complexity of organizing international events in the context of political instability.
