Finalissima: Argentina v Spain match set for Qatar cancelled because of Middle East war


The Finalissima between Argentina and Spain has been cancelled because of the war in the Middle East.

European champions Spain were set to play Copa America champions Argentina in Qatar on 26 March.

Uefa said proposals to hold the match at Real Madrid’s Bernabeu, or play a two-legged game in Madrid and Buenos Aires, were rejected by Argentina.

Uefa said in a statement: “Due to the current political situation in the region, the Finalissima cannot be played as hoped in Qatar.

“Uefa explored other feasible alternatives but each ultimately proved unacceptable to the Argentinian Football Association.”
