The Argentine national team lives its most moving and full of plenitude days on its return to its homeland after consecrated world champion in Qatar 2022. Last Thursday’s celebrations at the Monumental against Panama were part of a historic night. The people and the footballers united gave a real party that will be remembered for a long time.
Before going to Santiago del Estero, where tonight’s match will be played, the Argentine delegation went to Paraguay. There, before the draw for the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana 2023, the president of Conmebol, Alejandro Domínguez, was in charge of receiving and honoring them by awarding each one with a distinction.
Today Argentina will face Curaçao at the Madre de Ciudades stadium, set up for an unforgettable night which will be attended by 42,000 people. The doors will open at 3.30pm, and from then on the party will start to pulse. As in Buenos Aires, Sergio Goycochea will be the host of the event. As for the bands, La Mosca, La T and La M, DJ Meme Bouquet, Banda XXI, Los Totora and Q Lokura will play. The national anthem will instead be interpreted by Los Manseros Santiagueños, Las Mulieris and Néstor Garnica.
Argentina aims for the record and the standings
On the one hand, Lionel Messi, the national team’s top scorer, will have the chance to score his 100th goal today against Curaçao in the Albiceleste shirt. On the other hand, if Argentina defeat Curacao, they will become the top team in the FIFA rankings. This happens, given that Brazil, who were first, dropped points after being eliminated in the quarter-finals of the World Cup against Croatia, and, recently, for losing against Morocco.
