Argentina to play Honduras and Iceland in World Cup build-up

Honduras will meet the Albiceleste on 6 June at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, during a FIFA window that serves as preparation for both sides.

Argentina are still finalising their squad, seeking rhythm and testing options ahead of the final call-up.

Iceland will face Argentina on 9 June at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama. It will be the world champions’ final outing before they begin their title defence in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Argentina’s World Cup opener is scheduled for 16 June against Algeria.

It will be only the second senior meeting between Argentina and Iceland. Their previous encounter was a 1-1 draw at Russia 2018, with Alfreð Finnbogason scoring for Iceland and Sergio Agüero for Argentina under Jorge Sampaoli.
