Angola to Host Argentina in Historic Friendly on November 14
Angola is set to host world champions Argentina in a landmark friendly match on Friday, November 14, 2025, at the Estádio 11 de Novembro in Luanda. This will be the first time Argentina’s senior men’s team plays in Angola, marking a historic moment for African football.
The fixture is part of Angola’s 50th Independence Day celebrations and promises to showcase Lionel Messi and his world-class teammates. The Angolan Football Federation reportedly invested around $10 million to secure the high-profile encounter, reflecting the country’s ambition to boost its football profile and international visibility.
Argentina, under coach Lionel Scaloni, will train in Spain before traveling to Luanda for the match, returning to Europe after the friendly to continue preparations until the FIFA international break ends on November 18.
