The friendly match between Argentina and Burkina Faso is at risk of not taking place as scheduled, after the African team delayed its arrival in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, just hours before the match set to be held at the "Monumental" stadium.
According to several reports, Burkina Faso's mission is still in Morocco and has not started its journey to Argentina more than 24 hours before the scheduled match, raising uncertainty about the possibility of holding the encounter.
The national team's departure was supposed to take place earlier, but the original flight was unexpectedly cancelled, which caused a rearrangement of the travel schedule and delayed the team's arrival in Buenos Aires.
Reports suggest that the reason for the national team's delegation not traveling to Buenos Aires is due to a disagreement over certain conditions that the Argentine Football Association was supposed to provide, leading to the postponement of Burkina Faso's delegation travel until the matter is resolved.
Burkina Faso's squad is expected to face a long flight to Buenos Aires, which complicates the players' timely arrival and their ability to prepare for the match normally, especially since the national team is still in Morocco.
The match will take place at the "Monumental" stadium in the Argentine capital, and was scheduled for the early hours of Sunday, October 4, in Argentina's second match during the current international break, following their victory over Bolivia by four goals.
The upcoming match against Benin on October 6 has garnered additional attention as it will mark Lionel Messi's farewell appearance with the Argentina national team, as announced by the Argentine football management.
