Final: Argentina-Spain match scheduled for Qatar was canceled due to the Middle East war

A joint statement from the South American Football Confederation – the governing body for South American football – and the Argentine Football Association said they had offered an alternative date on March 31 but it was not accepted.

The statement read: “The Asian Football Confederation received a proposal to hold the match at a neutral venue in Italy on March 27.”

“Argentina has accepted the idea without any objection, except for the proposed date of March 31.

“Unfortunately, UEFA announced that holding the match on the 31st – just four days after the original proposal – was not possible, and the final was cancelled.”

UEFA said: “Argentina made a counter-proposal to play the match after the World Cup, but since Spain has no available dates, this option had to be ruled out.”

The Spanish Football Federation said, external He has “worked intensely” to start the game in any way possible, whether in Spain or at a neutral venue.

The statement read: “Spain was ready to play, as was always said. They did not set any conditions.

He added: “Spain and the European Union offered all possibilities.”

Saturday’s Formula 1 Grand Prix in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, which was scheduled to take place in April, has been cancelled.

Formula 1 said it was not safe to hold races due to conflict in the region.

Argentina last won the final, which is held every four years and organized by UEFA and CONMEBOL, at Wembley in 2022.
