The Argentine men’s national football looks to close out it’s World Cup 2026 group stage campaign on a high as it takes on Jordan on Saturday.
The match, set to be played AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, kicks off at 11 p.m. Argentina time, as is the last commitment for head coach Lionel Scaloni’s team before the start of the knockout stages.
With Argentina already booked for the first spot of the group and Jordan with no chances of qualifying, the match is effectively a rubber stamp, and the Albiceleste is expected to rotate heavily it’s squad.
Scaloni confirmed on Friday that team captain and superstar Lionel Messi will start the game from the bench. The Rosario-born player had a blitzing start to the tournament, scoring five goals the first two games.
He’s unlikely to be only change to the team, with the Argentina coach admitting it could be a game where Argentina tests new ideas.
