It was a dream Monday for Argentine soccer. It is that the continuity of Lionel Scaloni as DT of the Argentine team was confirmed and in the Fifa The Best Awards the albicelestes took everything: Lionel Messi (Best Player), Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez (Best Goalkeeper), Lionel Scaloni ( Best Coach) and Argentina (Best Fans).
But it was also confirmed that the world champion team in Qatar 2022 will play two friendly matches in our country and one of those matches would be played at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium in Córdoba.
Argentina, which will use these matches to celebrate winning the 2022 World Cup with its fans, will face Panama and Curaçao. The match once morest the Panamanians will take place at the River Plate Monumental stadium on March 23. Meanwhile, the duel once morest Curaçao would take place on March 27 or 28 and most likely at the Kempes de Córdoba.
From AFA they affirm that it is 80 percent closed and that everything will be confirmed in the next few hours.
The idea was to play a match in Buenos Aires and another in a stadium in the interior of the country. The other option, in addition to Córdoba, would be Santiago del Estero with its modern Madre de Ciudades stadium. But while almost 60,000 people enter the Kempes, in the Santiago redoubt it is half.
The first thing was to define the continuity of Scaloni as DT of the Argentine team, an issue that finally occurred. But among the aspects that were discussed with the coach was the fact that he had an influence on the definition of the place inside where the second friendly would be played.
