The 2026 Finalissima match between Argentina and Spain has been called off.
This was confirmed in a statement by UEFA on Sunday.
Reports said it was called off due to the team’s inability to reach an agreement with the World Champions.
It read: “After much discussion between UEFA and the organising authorities in Qatar, it is announced today that due to the current political situation in the region, the Finalissima between UEFA EURO 2024 winners Spain and CONMEBOL Copa América 2024 champions Argentina cannot be played as hoped in Qatar 27 March.
“It is a source of great disappointment to UEFA and the organisers that circumstances and timing have denied the teams of the chance to compete for this prestigious prize in Qatar – a country that has demonstrated time and again its capability of staging world-class international events in state-of-the-art facilities.
