Argentina will wrap up their 2025 calendar with a friendly encounter against Angola at the Estadio 11 de Novembro on Friday. This will be the first meeting between the two nations since Argentina emerged victorious in a 2-0 friendly back in May 2006. The fixture comes at a unique moment: Angola preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations and Argentina fine-tuning ahead of their 2026 World Cup defence.
Team NewsAngola come into the match from a rather underwhelming World Cup qualifying campaign, finishing fourth in Group D after two wins, six draws and two defeats. Under head coach Patrice Beaumelle they've held to a three-game unbeaten streak W1, D2, which offers at least some momentum. Key names include goalkeeper Neblu and striker Mabululu, leading the attack.
Argentina, reigning world champions, have already sealed their ticket to the 2026 World Cup after topping CONMEBOL qualifying, and just like Mac Allister suggested in a previous report, that goals are important for Argentina to reach their aim, they will be aiming to score as many goals as possible when they face Angola.
