“Lionel Scaloni’s team will play on March 23 at the Monumental stadium and on March 28 at the Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero,” the Argentine Argentine Football Association said on Twitter. It will be the first time Argentina have played in front of their home fans since beating France in a penalty shootout to win the World Cup in Qatar after a 36-year wait to claim the trophy, sparking massive celebrations all over the country.

According to local media reports, captain Lionel Messi and the rest of the world champions are expected to be in the squad. The announcement comes 3 days after the AFA said coach Lionel Scaloni had renewed his contract until 2026. He will name his squad for the 2 friendlies this weekend.
