Spain vs Argentina in Buenos Aires or at Bernabeu? Finalissima location up in the air
"We are going to get to work because Spain wants the Finalissima to be played in Spain, and I want it to be played at the Monumental stadium. Tapia said this prior to meeting CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez in Buenos Aires, indicating Argentina's preference for hosting the relocated match at their national stadium."
"UEFA, CONMEBOL and the local organizing committee have been closely monitoring the situation in the Middle East but alternative venues are being considered after the Qatar Football Association postponed all tournaments and matches following the United States-Israel strikes on Iran."
The Finalissima, scheduled for March 27 at Doha's Lusail Stadium between European champions Spain and Copa América winners Argentina, faces potential relocation following the Qatar Football Association's postponement of tournaments after U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran. UEFA, CONMEBOL, and local organizers are evaluating alternative venues. AFA president Claudio Tapia advocates for hosting the match at Buenos Aires' Monumental stadium, home to River Plate and Argentina's national team. Spain's Football Federation president Rafael Louzán previously suggested moving the game to Europe, citing that most players from both nations are based there. Spain proposed Real Madrid's Bernabéu stadium, which Tapia and the AFA have rejected in favor of the Monumental.
