It has been understood for the last few years how crazy Argentina is about the match. No matter which stadium they play in around the world, the gallery is packed to the brim. The madness at home is unimaginable.
Argentina will play against Peru on November 19 in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in South America. The match was scheduled to be played at El Monumental Stadium, known as Argentina's home ground. But the venue of this match has been changed. The Argentina-Peru qualifier will be played at La Bombanera. According to a report from Argentine media Mundo Albiceleste yesterday, the Copa Libertadores final will be held at Estadio Mas Monumental on November 30. Therefore there is a matter of preparing the ground. For this reason, Boca Juniors Club's home ground will be Argentina-Peru match at La Bombanera.
Argentina will play two World Cup qualifiers this month. Lionel Scaloni's team will play against Paraguay on November 15. The match will start at 5:30 am Bangladesh time at the Estadio Defensores del Cacho stadium in Asuncion, the capital city of Paraguay. After that, Bangladeshi football fans have to get up early to watch the Argentina-Peru match. Lionel Messi's match will start at 6 am Bangladesh time on November 20 at La Bombanera.
On December 18, 2022, Argentina ended their 36-year wait for a classic final against France. The Albiceleste, on a mission to defend the title, are also playing well in the qualifiers. The Sky Blues are at the top of the qualifier points table with 22 points. Colombia, which is second, has 19 points. Uruguay and Brazil, which are third and fourth, have the same 16 points for both teams. However, Uruguay is leading by goal difference. These four teams will play 10 matches each.
