Argentina returns to the pitch for the first time since the 2026 World Cup final as it welcomes Bolivia at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes on Wednesday evening.
No longer the reigning World Cup champions after surrendering its 2022 title to Spain in this summer's showpiece, Argentina embarks on a new chapter following Lionel Messi's announcement of his retirement from international soccer.
While Messi will enjoy one last farewell on home turf later in the September-October international window, Lionel Scaloni's side will aim to return to winning form against Bolivia in a fixture where several promising young players could earn meaningful playing time.
Bolivia narrowly fell short of securing a berth at the 2026 World Cup, suffering a heartbreaking loss in the tournament playoffs. Óscar Villegas's side is a formidable force on home ground, but away from the high altitude of El Alto, Argentina will be heavily favored to claim a comfortable win.
La Albiceleste have triumphed in the last five encounters with a combined score of 18–2. Here's how you can watch Argentina attempt to extend that impressive run in its opening match of the 2030 cycle.
