The world of football still awaits with anticipation the date of the Finalissima, the thrilling clash between the current European champion, Spain led by Lamine Yamal, and the current monarch of America, Argentina, guided by Leo Messi. This showdown will determine who emerges as the 'champion of champions', a title currently held by the 'Albiceleste' following their victory over Italy (0-3) in the 2022 edition held at Wembley.

However, it seems that we will have to wait a considerable amount of time to witness this clash of giants. The reason? According to various sources, it is not expected that this match will take place either during this year 2024 or even in 2025, but rather in the year 2026. Although the venue has not been confirmed yet, there are rumors that the encounter could take place in America this time, considering that the previous edition took place on European soil, specifically in England. Currently, the United States is favored to host the event.

Why would the Finalissima take place in the year 2026?

Now, why should this tournament, which has not yet been confirmed, be held so far in the future? This does not seem to be motivated by anything other than the fact that the football calendar for this year, as well as for 2025, is already looking very packed with sporting commitments, both at club and national team levels. Finding a slot for this competition is shaping up to be a challenging task.

Given this premise, it would not be surprising if the competition takes place in 2026. Sources like 'TyC Sports' even suggest that it could happen in the month of March that year, three months before the start of the World Cup. A similar situation occurred in 2022 when the match between Argentina and Italy took place in June, five months before the start of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
