Messi fans, start manifesting — Argentina’s national football team could be making a triumphant return to Qatar this November, and the iconic Lusail Stadium may host the world champions once again.
Reports from Argentinian media suggest that La Albiceleste is lining up a series of friendlies later this year, with Qatar tipped to be their final stop after games in Angola and China. While nothing’s officially locked in yet, buzz is building fast — and football fans across the Gulf are ready to pack the stands.
Let’s not forget: Lusail Stadium is where Argentina secured their historic World Cup win in 2022, edging out France in a nerve-wracking penalty shootout. So yes, a return to that turf would be pure football nostalgia — and a hot ticket for fans hoping to relive the glory days.
If all goes to plan, Argentina will face Angola in Luanda in a match rumored to be part of the country's 50th independence anniversary celebrations. Two additional friendlies are expected to follow in China, wrapping up with a possible showdown in Qatar — just ahead of the team’s next round of 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
While the Argentine Football Association has yet to confirm the venue lineup, Lusail’s name keeps popping up, and the Middle East remains a prime destination for international matches, thanks to its world-class infrastructure and passionate fan base.
Whether you’re still riding the post-World Cup high or just hoping to see Messi in action one more time, keep your eyes on the calendar — November in Qatar could be one for the football history books.
