What Was Argentina’s Last Match Today Score?
Argentina’s last match ended Argentina 3-0 Benin on Tuesday 6 October 2026 at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires. Benin held out until half-time. Nicolás Otamendi opened the scoring in the 48th minute, Nico Paz doubled the lead on 61, and Messi converted a penalty in the second half. Messi also set up both of the other goals, according to BBC Sport.
The game closed a perfect October window. Argentina beat Bolivia 4-0 in Córdoba on 30 September through Lautaro Martínez, Nico Paz, Cristian Romero and José Manuel López, as the AFA match report confirms. Three days later, Scaloni’s side thrashed Burkina Faso 7-0 at the Monumental, with Franco Mastantuono scoring his first senior goal. That gives Argentina 14 goals for and none against across the three games.

| 30 Sep 2026 | Argentina vs Bolivia | 4-0 (W) | Mario Alberto Kempes, Córdoba | Friendly |
| 3 Oct 2026 | Argentina vs Burkina Faso | 7-0 (W) | Monumental, Buenos Aires | Friendly |

When Is Argentina’s Next Match?
Argentina’s next match is a friendly against Uruguay on Friday 13 November 2026 in Buenos Aires. The Argentine Football Association (AFA) confirmed both November fixtures on 16 October. Argentine media name La Bombonera as the most likely venue for the Uruguay game, but AFA has not yet confirmed the stadium.
Four days later, on Tuesday 17 November, Argentina host Costa Rica at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes in Córdoba. Neither game counts towards a competition. Scaloni will use both to test the squad that replaces the generation of Messi and Otamendi, who also retired from international football in October.
What Time Is the Argentina Match Today in Nigeria?
No Argentina match takes place today, so there is no kick-off time to convert. For the November friendlies, AFA says it will publish kick-off times “in the coming weeks”. We will add them to this page as soon as AFA confirms them.
To convert any future Argentina today match time, add four hours to Argentina time (ART, UTC-3) to get Nigerian time (WAT, UTC+1). Argentina usually plays home games in the evening, so most of them finish after midnight in Lagos. For example, the Bolivia game kicked off at 21:00 in Córdoba on 30 September, which was 1:00am WAT on 1 October.
| Argentina time (ART) | Nigeria time (WAT) | UK time (BST/GMT) |
|---|---|---|
| 18:00 | 22:00 | 22:00 BST / 21:00 GMT |
| 20:00 | 00:00 (next day) | 00:00 BST / 23:00 GMT |
| 21:00 | 01:00 (next day) | 01:00 BST / 00:00 GMT |
| 21:30 | 01:30 (next day) | 01:30 BST / 00:30 GMT |
The UK moves from BST to GMT on 25 October 2026, so the GMT column applies to the November games.

Neither federation has planned a Super Eagles vs Argentina match for 2026. For Nigeria’s own plans, read our Super Eagles coach guide, and for Nigerian basketball, see our Nigeria basketball team page.
Argentina vs Uruguay Today Match Result
The last Argentina vs Uruguay result was a 1-0 Argentina win in Montevideo on 21 March 2025, with Thiago Almada scoring. The sides meet again on 13 November, this time in Buenos Aires. Uruguay arrive under interim coach Diego Forlán.
What Is Argentina’s Lineup for the Next Match?
Argentina have not named a squad for the November friendlies yet. Scaloni normally announces his list about two weeks before a FIFA window, so expect it in late October or early November. Cristian Romero takes over as captain after the retirements of Messi and Otamendi.
October gave strong clues. Lautaro Martínez, Julián Álvarez, Nico Paz, Enzo Fernández and Alexis Mac Allister all started regularly, while young players such as Franco Mastantuono, Gianluca Prestianni and Santiago Castro got minutes. Paz scored in all three games and looks ready to take the number 10 role. Check our football injury updates before the window, because club injuries often change the final list.
Is There Any Argentine Football Today?
Yes, at club level from tomorrow. The Liga Profesional resumes on Friday 23 October with matchday 14 of the Torneo Clausura. Gimnasia vs Sarmiento opens the round at 18:00 Argentina time, which is 22:00 WAT, and Tigre vs Atlético Tucumán follows at 21:15 Argentina time (01:15 WAT on Saturday).
Many Argentina internationals play in Europe, so their weekend club games matter for November selection.
