Argentina and Iceland meet in an international friendly as Lionel Scaloni’s world champions continue their preparations ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Albiceleste arrive in exceptional form. They have won five consecutive matches without conceding more than once in any of them, and Scaloni will want that momentum carried into the tournament, where Argentina open their title defence against Algeria on June 16 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
At the heart of everything Argentina do is Lionel Messi. The 38-year-old Inter Miami forward is set to play in what is expected to be his final World Cup, and his involvement in this friendly adds genuine weight to what is otherwise a low-stakes occasion. Scaloni has made clear that Messi will play for as long as he wants, and the squad named for the 2026 tournament reflects a group built around him.
Iceland come into this fixture having struggled for results in recent months. Their last five matches produced just one draw and three defeats, including a 4-0 loss to Mexico and a 1-0 defeat to Japan. They will need to show considerably more defensive resilience here if they are to trouble the world champions.
This is the only previous competitive meeting between these two nations came at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where the sides drew 1-1 in a result that sent shockwaves through the tournament. Iceland will draw on that memory, even if the balance of power has shifted considerably since then.

Argentina arrive in outstanding form, winning all five of their most recent matches. Their most recent outing was a 2-0 victory over Honduras on June 7, and they have not lost a game in this run. Earlier in the sequence, they beat Zambia 5-0 and Puerto Rico 6-0, demonstrating a ruthless edge in front of goal. A 2-1 win over Mauritania and a 2-0 victory away to Angola complete a flawless five-match record.
Iceland’s recent form tells a different story. They have lost three of their last five matches, drawing the other two. Their most recent result was a 1-0 defeat to Japan on May 31, and they were beaten 4-0 by Mexico in February. A draw with Haiti and a draw with Canada in March were the only points they managed across this period, and they have conceded eight goals in five outings.
