Lionel Messi Returns to Barcelona: Spotify Camp Nou Considered as Venue for Finalissima
FIFA Struggles to Set Date for La Finalissima
FIFA has been facing challenges in determining the date for the upcoming La Finalissima, a match between Euro 2024 winners Spain and Copa America 2024 champions Argentina. Due to fixture congestion in 2025, the match is now expected to take place in March 2026.
Potential Venue for the Showpiece Event
Despite the previous edition being held in Europe, South America will not be the host for the next La Finalissima. There is a possibility that the match could be played in Spain, potentially giving the Spanish team home advantage.
Barcelona’s Proposal for Hosting La Finalissima
Reports suggest that Barcelona has put forward a proposal for the newly-renovated Spotify Camp Nou to host the prestigious event. If approved by FIFA, this could mean that Lionel Messi gets to play at his beloved home ground for one final time.
The matchup between Messi and Lamine Yamal in Barcelona would undoubtedly be a captivating spectacle for football fans around the world.
