Argentina continue their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Friday when they visit Angola for an international friendly.
In only their second ever fixture against the African side—the previous battle coming in 2006—Argentina will continue to fine-tune their system ahead of the defense of their world title in North America next summer. The match is La Albiceleste’s final of the calendar year following the postponement of their previously scheduled match with Australia.
Lionel Messi and co. will be aiming to continue their stellar form under Lionel Scaloni, who helped the South American giants to the top of their World Cup qualification group. They also triumphed in both of October’s friendlies, beating Venezuela 1–0 and Puerto Rico 6–0 in the United States.
Friday’s fixture has little riding on it, but it’s another opportunity for Scaloni to test his players ahead of more important fixtures over the coming months.
Here’s how to tune into the friendly clash.

Angola have another friendly to turn their attention towards after Argentina’s visit, with Guinea-Bissau their next opponents on Nov. 18. They are preparing for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, which commences in December.
Argentina’s cancelled clash with Australia means they have no more friendlies this month, but they will visit Spain for a training camp after facing Angola. Their next matches will be played in March of next year.
