Hupu, August 14th, reported that Argentina's friendly match against Mexico was finally cancelled during the October international match window period, because Mexico had to withdraw due to contract issues. However, the two games played in the United States have been confirmed: Chicago and New Jersey.

The Argentina national team is preparing to welcome the high-intensity schedule for the end of 2025 with the goal of next year's World Cup. The World Cup qualifiers will soon end, and Scaloni's intention is to use international match days to maximize his roster rotation trials in search of the best candidates. Currently, as qualifications for promotion and group top spot have been ensured, Scaloni can continue to adjust the lineup without pressure in the last few irrelevant qualifiers: home against Venezuela at the Monument Stadium on September 4, and away challenge to Ecuador on September 9.

At present, the schedule of the friendly match is still incomplete because the opponent is yet to be confirmed. But it is understood that the negotiations are going to be the one that has made the most in-depth progress in Venezuela - after a fierce confrontation last month, this will be an old opponent to meet again. At that time, we need to pay attention to the fate of the Venezuelan team coached by Fernando Batista in the prospects of the World Cup, because they currently have a playoff spot with 18 points, 4 points behind Colombia, and only lead Bolivia by 1 point in the fiercely competitive area of the standings.

As for the friendly match schedule of away games against Angola and Qatar in November, there is no change for the time being, and the World Cup group stage draw ceremony will be held in Las Vegas on December 5.
