The Finalissima between Spain and Argentina was set to be held in Qatar, but escalating tensions in the Middle East have cast heavy doubt over whether the match can go ahead as planned.
Gaston Edul, the beat reporter covering the Argentina national team, shared an update on the Finalissima via social media, stating:
No official suspension of the Finalissima has been announced so far. While the Qatar Football Association had previously suspended domestic sports activities, FIFA has not made a formal decision on the match at this stage.
A ruling is expected to be issued in the coming days, but it is highly probable that the game will not take place in Qatar on March 27 as scheduled. No final verdict has been reached.
