Puerto Rico and Argentina will meet in the last friendly match of October on Tuesday night. With Messi back with the national team, it will play in the Lockhart Stadium in Miami, home of the Inter Miami. The kickoff is schedule for 08:00 p.m. ET.

This is the first-ever meeting between the two national teams and serves as a valuable test for both sides. Argentina, already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, are expected to rotate their squad, while Puerto Rico aim to gain experience against one of the world’s elite teams.

Puerto Rico enter this friendly with mixed recent form, having drawn 2–2 with the Dominican Republic and then suffered a 2–0 loss away from home in their matches this spring.

Argentina, meanwhile, have been strong and recently qualified for the 2026 World Cup as the first South American nation to do so. One of their standout results came in March 2025, when they defeated Brazil 4–1 at home.

Given those trends, Argentina look well-prepared to dominate this fixture. Puerto Rico will likely struggle to match the consistency and experience of the Albiceleste but could make life difficult with energy and organization.
