Argentina National Team began to define the logistics for the Finalissima against Spain and has already confirmed where it will stay during its time in Qatar. The squad coached by Lionel Scaloni will stay at the exclusive five-star hotelMarsa Malaz Kempinski, located on an island in the La Perla district in Doha.
The hotel, described as a fusion of Arab and European elegance, has 281 rooms with views of the Persian Gulf and the urban landscape of the district, some of them valued at up to 16 thousand dollars per night. In addition, it offers private beaches, spa, tennis courts, limousine service and multiple recreational spaces.

The Albiceleste will arrive in the Qatari capital next Saturday, March 21, six days before the match against the European champion, scheduled for Friday the 27th at Lusail Stadium. This trip will mean the return of the national team to the city where it won the World Cup in 2022, although this time it won't return to Qatar University, the complex that served as its base during that historic campaign.
According to international agencies, the reason for the change is that the university complex won't be available at this time of year, which forced the AFA to look for an alternative. The choice fell on Marsa Malaz Kempinski, known for its level of security and for its experience working with sports delegations, since during the World Cup it was used by the United States national team.

Meanwhile, one of the points that AFA will have to solve is that of the training sessions beforehand, since the accommodation doesn't have soccer fields. For this reason, during February a delegation will travel to Doha to determine the most convenient place for the team's practices.
The planning contemplates that the national team will remain in Qatar until April 1, since after the Finalissima it will play a friendly against the host national team on March 31, within the framework of the Qatar Football Festival, as part of the preparation for the 2026 World Cup.
