The Argentina National Team kicks off its formal preparation for the 2026 World Cup. This Saturday, starting at 9:00 p.m. (Argentina time), the world champion will face Honduras at the impressive Kyle Field stadium in Texas, United States. The match will serve as the first test for coach Lionel Scaloni after training began earlier this week.
Argentina National Team: Scaloni will prioritize fitness and protect players carrying knocks, including captain Lionel Messi, who will be rested. The goal is to assess alternatives and give minutes to players called up for this friendly window who will not be part of the final World Cup squad.
Honduras: Out of the World Cup picture (they finished behind Haiti in Group C), the Central American side is already focused on the road to the 2030 World Cup. It will be the second match under Spanish coach José Francisco Medina, who made his debut in March with a 2-2 draw against Peru.
Argentina: Juan Musso; Agustín Giay, Nicolás Otamendi, Lisandro Martínez, Nicolás Tagliafico; Exequiel Palacios, Valentín Barco, Giovani Lo Celso; Giuliano Simeone; Lautaro Martínez and Thiago Almada. Coach: Lionel Scaloni.
Honduras: Edrick Menjivar; Cristopher Meléndez, Giancarlos Sacaza, Luis Vega, Joseph Rosales; Kervin Arriaga, José Reyes; Dereck Moncada, Luis Palma, Rigoberto Rivas; Jorge Benguche. Coach: José Francisco Molina.
The head-to-head record between the two national teams shows clear Albiceleste dominance, with 8 Argentine wins, 2 draws, and no Honduran victories in history.
