✋ Spain refuse to call off the Finalissima in Qatar

The conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States is directly affecting Qatar, and also, indirectly, the Spanish national team and the Argentine national team, who were set to face each other in the 'Finalissima'.

The match was scheduled to take place next Friday, March 27, in Doha, but currently the venue and the match itself are in doubt following the outbreak of war between Iran, Israel, and the United States.

During the nightly program on 'Cadena SER', Álvaro De Miguel, Secretary General of the RFEF, spoke about whether the match would ultimately be able to take place.

He said:  "The situation there is worrying, but the Finalissima is not suspended. Qatar has informed us that it has suspended its competitions until further notice, but that does not mean this match is suspended. We have our sporting plans to play against Argentina and Egypt. We maintain that desire, although it is true that we have to wait. It is premature to make a diagnosis regarding whether the match will be played or whether it will be played in Qatar or not. Starting tomorrow, we will hold working meetings with UEFA and CONMEBOL to assess the real scope of the conflict and see how we manage this match. It is premature to make an assessment, but this week will be decisive in knowing what will happen with this match. We need to have the guarantee that, wherever we play, there is a state of security and calm for us. I hope to have news soon." 

So, we will have to wait before making a decision regarding the match organized by CONMEBOL.
