AFA and Conmebol hit out at UEFA after Finalissima suspension

The Argentine Football Association and CONMEBOL issued practically identical statements in which they blamed UEFA for the cancellation of the Finalissima between the Argentine National Team and the Spanish National Team.

According to both entities, from the very beginning they expressed their willingness to play the match on neutral ground. However, one of UEFA's proposals was to hold the match at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, which was rejected as it was considered not to guarantee sporting fairness.

Subsequently, the possibility of playing in Italy arose, but the parties could not agree on the date. While UEFA intended to keep March 27, South America proposed postponing it to the 31st. Finally, as no consensus was reached, the match ended up being canceled.

With this scenario, the coaching staff will have to rethink the planning of the next international window, as the AFA is considering finding an alternative opponent or still holding a training camp at the Ezeiza Complex.
