Don't Miss Argentina vs. Mauritania: Your Complete Guide to Watching Live on TV and Stream

Argentina kicks off their 2026 campaign when first-time opponents and African underdogs Mauritania make their way to Buenos Aires this Friday evening.

The two sides, unsurprisingly given the vast difference in quality and standing, have never previously met, and Friday's friendly is not expected to be a particularly competitive affair. Over 100 spots separate the world champions and their guests in the FIFA rankings, and a comprehensive victory is widely anticipated at La Bombonera.

Fans can expect to see some world-class talent on display in Argentina's capital, with eight-time Ballon d'Or recipient Lionel Messi among those named in Lionel Scaloni's squad. Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernández, and Julián Alvarez are also part of an impressive lineup.
