The Argentine National Team reassembled its schedule for the FIFA date in March after the Fall of the Final against Spain and confirmed a friendly match against Guatemala on March 31 at La Bombonera. However, the meeting was involved in a regulatory problem
.The match against the Central Americans emerged as an alternative after negotiations between UEFA and CONMEBOL failed to play the match against the continental champions. Faced with that scenario, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) moved quickly to secure a commitment in the March international window, but ran into a snag.
FIFA regulations prevent national teams from playing games on different continents on the same FIFA date, unless the distance between venues involves a flight of less than five hours. In this case, Guatemala has already scheduled a friendly match against Algeria on March 27 in Genoa, Italy, which conflicts with their trip to Buenos Aires a few days
