Lionel Messi return to Barcelona? Spotify Camp Nou was born as a candidate to host Finalissima

FIFA has struggled to find the right date for the next installment of La Finalissima, which will take place between Euro 2024 winners Spain and Copa America 2024 champions Argentina. It is now expected that the match will be held in March 2026 due to the congestion of the fixtures in 2025, when it should have been held.

As for a location, South America will not be a host despite the previous installation being in Europe. It could be playing there for the second time in a row, and more specifically, Spain could end up having a home advantage.

According to the Argentine journalist German Carrara (via MD), Barcelona proposed that the newly renovated Spotify Camp Nou host the showpiece event when it takes place.

If FIFA were to give approval for this, it could allow Lionel Messi to play in his spiritual home for one last time. It could also be that the long-awaited duel between Argentina and Lamine Yamal takes place in Barcelonathat would be a sight to see.
