As the 2026 World Cup approaches, South American giants Argentina and Brazil are using the international window to fine-tune their squads with crucial friendly matches. Following the conclusion of the Latin American World Cup qualifiers, both teams have lined up fixtures this November to maintain rhythm and test new strategies.
Messi and Argentina Set for Angola Clash
World champions Argentina are set to face Angola in a friendly match tomorrow (November 14) at the Estadio Nacional Stadium in Luanda, the capital of Angola. The game kicks off at 10:00 PM Bangladesh time and will mark the golden jubilee of Angolaβs independence.
The Argentine Football Association (AFA) has reportedly agreed to the fixture after receiving an offer of approximately 170 crore taka from the Angolan government. Initially, Argentina was expected to visit India, while Morocco and Japan were also considered as potential opponents. However, those plans eventually fell through.
A source close to the team stated,

No Broadcast for Bangladesh Fans
Unfortunately, football enthusiasts in Bangladesh and across the subcontinent will be disappointed, as no local TV channel has secured broadcasting rights for either Argentina vs Angola or Brazilβs friendlies this month.
Still, excitement remains high worldwide as fans eagerly await another chance to see Lionel Messi and Brazilβs rising stars in action.
