Angola Takes on Argentina: Your Complete Viewing Guide for the Epic Showdown
Argentina will advance their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup this Friday as they travel to face Angola in an international friendly match.
This marks just their second encounter with the African nation—their last meeting occurred in 2006—as Argentina looks to refine their tactical approach before defending their world championship in North America next summer. This fixture serves as La Albiceleste's final match of the year following the cancellation of their previously arranged game against Australia.
Lionel Messi and his teammates will seek to maintain their excellent performance under manager Lionel Scaloni, who guided the South American powerhouse to the summit of their World Cup qualifying group. They also secured victories in both October friendlies, defeating Venezuela 1–0 and dominating Puerto Rico 6–0 during their tour of the United States.
While Friday's encounter carries minimal significance, it provides another chance for Scaloni to evaluate his squad before more crucial matches in the upcoming months.
