When does the Argentina national team play? The agenda of the Scaloneta for the World Cup in Qatar 2022

The year of the World Cup has arrived and the Argentina National Team dreams of his third star. After an unforgettable 2021, finishing a 28-year run without titles after inducting himself into the Copa América in Brazil and also qualifying undefeated for Qatar 2022 with four dates in advance, de Albiceleste wants to keep making history†

from the hand of Lionel Scallonicwho started its cycle as interim after Russia’s painful elimination in 2018 and managed to win ratification on the basis of good results in its first six months in office, Argentina entered a new era after the end of the cycle of the majority of the members of the second generation in Brazil 2014.

After a 2019 in which he played some friendlies and the only official competition was the Copa América in which the national team finished third and a 2020 where there was no activity for 10 months due to the pandemic, 2021 was charged again and brought a lot of joy.

Already in 2022, the whole year is planned with a view to November, when the World Cup starts. The first for the Albiceleste was to complete their entry into the Qualifiers: the debut of the year was a 2-1 victory over Chile as a visitor and a 1-0 home win against Colombia. At the end of March he played the last two days of the road to Qatarin which Argentina beat the already eliminated Venezuela at home and equalized in the final game against Ecuador, which also had a ticket for the World Cup.

After completing the official calendar, Scaloni’s team has two FIFA World Cup dates, one in June and the other in September, and in the AFA they have already started the steps in search of winning shots against European rivals, Against which the National Squad has not been measured for more than two years: The last match against an Old Continent rival was the 2-2 friendly against Germany in October 2019. FIFA’s decision to force the match to play Match suspended against Brazil in the qualifiers is a difficult hurdle to avoid. In its latest statement, the football board stated that: ‘The match will have to be played in Brazil on September 22, 2022’but the AFA has already appealed the decision to the TAS and is awaiting a favorable ruling that will avoid a commitment it does not wish to challenge.

In addition to that match, the CBF had officially announced that another match against Argentina, in this friendly event, would take place on 11 June in Australia. However, given Scaloni’s blunt refusal to play another game against Verdeamarela, Viamonte took the necessary steps and the match was officially cancelled.

So, finally, Argentina’s only confirmed match -for now- for the World Cup debut is the Euro-American final against Italy, to be played at Wembley on June 1. With the others qualifying with a full schedule for Qatar and the two friendlies scheduled against Mexico canceled for falling into the same World Cup group, there are as many urgencies in the Albiceleste as difficulties in finding rivals : in June there will be a day of the UEFA Nations League, so it will not be possible to play against rivals from the old continent and the rest of the selected teams have already made commitments.

The possibility of a friendly against Israel on Monday, June 6 in Tel Aviv had arisen as the Asian team that is part of the European Confederation had a hole in the agenda after the confirmation of Russia’s exclusion from the competitions, because it was the rival he faced in his first Nations League appearance. However, this option was also not available and Argentina will only play one game in this window.

For September, meanwhile, it is possible that AFA will close matches against an African rival and another against an Asian. Then it’s time to tick off the days until Qatar starts 2022, where the Scaloneta were matched in Group C with Poland, Mexico and Saudi Arabia.

Than, GOAL discusses the activity of 2020 and 2021 and what comes in the year of the World Cup.
