The Argentine Football Association officially confirmed this week that the game against Angola in November will be the only friendly match for the Argentina team. Whether this event can be restarted in the future is unknown.

An official told the Western media "The Nation": "We made every effort to achieve this goal in November; we even sent a delegation to India to inspect venues, hotels and other arrangements, but the Indian side was unable to meet the requirements."

In addition, Messi personally announced earlier this month that he would carry out a trip to India in December to participate in activities and interact with high-level dignitaries. There are currently no signs of cancellation or postponement of this event.
