Spain v Argentina is officially confirmed as the next Finalissima, and Conmebol and UEFA set for March 27, 2026, a big-time game in Doha.
The announcement introduces a significant date into the global calendar and brings together two continental champions on an even playing field.
The game will be played in Lusail stadium which was used in the Argentina World Cup victory three years ago.
The match will commence at 21:00 local time, another prime time event for the international viewers.
Spain v Argentina will see the Copa América champions and European champions match in the most recent edition of the CONMEBOL- UEFA Cup.
Finalissima is a one-off event meant to enjoy co-operation between the two confederations and serve to hail an unchallenged intercontinental champion.
The 2022 emphatic 3-0 victory of Argentina over Italy at Wembley Stadium has made Argentina the defending holders. Such a triumph highlighted the work of Lionel Scaloni, who has managed a long stretch of success.
For Spain, the match is an opportunity to win the trophyfor the first time, following their success of being the European champions. The Finalissima is an eye-test for the world champions on the international platform by the Spanish federation.
The announcement was a historic moment in international football, according to CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez.
He claimed that the incident is an event of excellence, and it proves a conflict of style between the South American tradition and European football culture.
Spain v Argentina is also a symbolic event to the host country, and Lusail is again hosting one of the largest events in the sport.
The fact that Qatar remains involved in elite football events indicates its post world cup policy of hosting major international matches.
The laws governing the game state that there will be no extra time in case the game is a draw at the end of the 90 minutes.
The winner will be determined through a penalty shootout so as to have a conclusive result at the end of the night.
The broadcast information will be verified closer to the game by local rights holders and official UEFA channels. Having a date now, both national teams are able to factor in the Finalissima in their international planning for 2026.
