The world champions receive the Tri in the Monumental Stadium.
The national teams of Argentina and Ecuadro meet on Thursday-evening (early Friday morning in Spain) at the Monumental Stadium. River Plate’s home ground will see the debut of the world champions on their way through the South American qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup in North America.
Lionel Scaloni’s team presents itself to its people in a stadium that can accommodate more than 85,000 people. The audience will join the heroes of Qatar 2022 and get the chance to see Lionel Messi again, always an ‘extra’ tastemaker. While Argentina is the favorite to keep the three points, Ecuador has weapons that complicate things for the Albiceleste.
Of course, the three must comply with a fine imposed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS), which has ruledor ahead of the World Cup in Qatar 2022 subtract three units for these qualifications. The sentence comes as a result of the indictment of Chile – and subsequently Peru – against Byron Castillo. The sports directors of the trans-Andean country accused the Ecuadorian Football Federation of suspicions of an alleged illegal naturalization.
