This Thursday, March 23, the Argentina national team will face Panama in an international friendly. It will be Scaloneta’s first match in the country after winning the World Cup in Qatar 2022. It will be played at the Monumental stadium from 20:30 and can be seen on Public TV, TyC Sports and DirecTV Sport.
Argentina comes to the match at their best after winning the World Cup against France. Since December, the Argentine team has been waiting to play in the country to reunite with its people and celebrate. Panama, on the other hand, will play with an alternative team, given that they will face Costa Rica in the Nations League on March 28. Furthermore, coach Thomas Christiansen will not travel as the game is not a priority for him, so he will send under-20 coach Jorge Dely Valdés instead.
The record between the two points to 2 games, 2 wins for Argentina. Panama has never won. There was not even a draw.
