Venue details
This neutral venue, built for the 2022 World Cup, hosted Argentina’s triumphant final victory over France and offers an 88,000-capacity arena with world-class facilities, ensuring a neutral yet electric atmosphere.
Qatar emerged as the host after considerations of Wembley (UK), Miami (USA), Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), and Montevideo (Uruguay). Its selection aligns with FIFA’s international window (March 23-31, 2026), avoiding World Cup playoffs for both teams.
Argentina enters as defending champions, having beaten Italy 3-0 in the 2022 edition, while Spain seeks their first Finalissima title.

Match details
Spain booked their place in the Finalissima 2026 after being European champions for the fourth time in Germany in 2024, defeating England 2-1.
Argentina, meanwhile, entered the Finalissima 2026 after winning their 16th Copa America title in the USA by beating Colombia 1-0 after extra time in the final in Florida.
Argentina, led by Lionel Messi (if fit post-World Cup), boasts a golden generation with Julián Álvarez, Enzo Fernández, and Emiliano Martínez.
Their 2024 Copa América triumph showcased ruthless efficiency. Spain, under Luis de la Fuente, counters with young stars like Lamine Yamal, Pedri, and Rodri, blending tiki-taka flair with defensive solidity from Euro 2024.
