Argentina set sights on Venezuela and Ecuador | OneFootball

The Argentina National Team had its first practice ahead of the double date of South American Qualifiers, where it will host Venezuela and visit Ecuador.

The Argentina National Team had its first training session this Monday ahead of the double date of South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, where it will face Venezuela this Thursday and Ecuador on Tuesday, September 9.

Although several names from the prestigious list provided by Lionel Scaloni, the technical director of the Albiceleste, are yet to arrive in the country, some of them starred in the first practice at the Lionel Messi Complex of the AFA in Ezeiza.

Some footballers who arrived in the country on Sunday were able to carry out work on the field, while those who landed on Monday, such as Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul -who played the final of the Leagues Cup with Inter Miami with a 3-0 defeat against Seattle Sounders– watched it from the sidelines, amid laughter and mates.

Later on, Lautaro Martinez and Giovanni Lo Celso joined the concentration. On the other hand, both Emiliano Martinez and Nicolas Gonzalez, the new reinforcement of Atletico Madrid, are expected to arrive in the country for Tuesday's practice.
