Could Lionel Messi Face Lamine Yamal On South American Soil In 2026?
March 2026 could see Lionel Messi and South American champion Argentina take on Lamine Yamal and European champion Spain in the 'Finalissima' trophy. A 'Finalissima' For The Ages The 'Finalissima' is a one-off soccer match between the champion of Europe and the champion of South America. At the moment those teams are Spain, for its 2024 European triumph, and Argentina, for its 2024 Copa America victory. Organizers have finally penciled in a preliminary date for this game. The March 2026 FIFA international break. This would be the perfect FIFA 2026 World Cup warm-up match, and perhaps it would determine who will be the favourite for next summer's big tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Veteran Lionel Messi still captains Argentina, and 18 year-old Lamine Yamal is the hero of the Spanish national team. Messi is a Barcelona legend, and Yamal is the future of the club, who has just inherited the legendary number 10 jersey that Messi used to wear. These players represent so much in global soccer, and this could be the first and only time that they share the field. Where Will The Finalissima Be Played? Officials have not yet confirmed the location of the Finalissima match. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, England and Uruguay have all registered interest in hosting the event according to TYC Sports in Argentina. Qatar hosted the 2022 World Cup when Argentina won the title and Saudi Arabia is set to host the 2034 World Cup. England, and Wembley stadium in particular, has hosted three Champions League finals since 2011. It also hosted the 'Euro 2020' Final in 2021 and the last version of the Finalissima, which took place in 2022. Argentina defeated Italy 3-0 that day. Montevideo, Uruguay is a romantic option for this fixture. The historic Estadio Centenario hosted the 1930 World Cup final when Uruguay defeated Argentina 4-2. That was the first ever World Cup final. What's more, the stadium is set to close its doors for refurbishment ahead of hosting just one game at the start of the FIFA 2030 World Cup, to celebrate the centenary of the biggest tournament in international sports. Spain, Portugal, and Morocco will host the majority of the 2030 tournament. However Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina will all host one game each to kick-off the tournament in homage to the World Cup that took place on South American soil in 1930. The Finalissima could be the last match Uruguay stages at the Estadio Centenario before it closes to prepare for the next World Cup. When you consider that Uruguay and South America didn't win the bid to host the FIFA 2030 World Cup in its entirety, perhaps this would be a nice token. Europe hosted the last version of the Finalissima, so it seems fair that South America could host the event this time. Will There Definitely Be A Finalissima? There is an important caveat to this discussion. Teams can only play the Finalissima during the international window that falls between March 23rd and 31st, 2026. It's the only space in the calendar, so Argentina and Spain need to be available to play, but the European champion might still be playing World Cup qualifying fixtures. Argentina have already qualified for next summer's tournament, but Spain is just about to begin its FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifying group. If Spain finish top of the group it will qualify automatically for the World Cup in November 2025. However if Spain fails to finish top of the group and enters the European World Cup play-offs, Spain will not be available to play the Finalissima in March 2026. Organizers can agree on a venue and date in principle, but until Spain finishes its FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifiers in November nothing can be guaranteed. What is certain is that if this game goes ahead it will be a monumental occasion in international football. Seeing Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal on the same pitch would be historic. If South America hosts the game, fans will elevate the vibrancy, passion, and noise around the fixture to a whole new level.

Rich Eisen is YouTube's leading NFL play-by-play candidate for Chiefs-Chargers game: Sources
Rich Eisen emerged as the leading play-by-play candidate to join Kurt Warner on YouTube's first regular-season NFL game, sources briefed on the discussions said Wednesday. The Athletic reported earlier this week that Warner is signed as the game analyst for YouTube's Kansas City Chiefs versus Los Angeles Chargers game on Friday, Sept. 5, in São Paulo, Brazil. Advertisement YouTube declined comment. YouTube, as well as Netflix, have had difficulty procuring NFL play-by-play broadcasters and analysts as ESPN, Fox, NBC, CBS and Amazon have been hesitant to loan out their talent. On Christmas Day last year, Netflix used personalities from all the networks. For Netflix, the Christmas Day games this season are being produced by CBS, which is one of the reasons its studio analysts, Nate Burleson and Matt Ryan, will be on the games. Drew Brees, who does not work for a network, will be a game analyst for Netflix, as well. An added issue for YouTube on Sept. 5 is that a full NFL and college football slate of games means that most top play-by-players are already working that weekend. Eisen, who hosts NFL Network's pregame show and will be moving his radio show to ESPN the week of the Brazil game, is available for that Friday. Eisen and Warner have teamed up previously as the duo is considered the NFL Network's No. 1 team, usually calling around seven games per year together.
