Lionel Messi’s Argentina begins the defense of its world title on Thursday in the premiere of the extensive South American qualifier for the World Cup in North America-2026, in which the ‘Loco’ Marcelo Bielsa officially debuts at the helm of a renewed Uruguay.
In a Monumental stadium to bursting -more than eighty thousand tickets were sold in less than two hours-, the world champion, with Messi, Angel Di María, the ‘Dibu’ Emiliano Martínez and the rest of the ‘heroes’ of Qatar- 2022 start their way to the tournament that will be organized by the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The dangerous Ecuador, a young team with a generation led by Pervis Estupiñán and Moisés Caicedo -record pass in the Premier League from Brighton to Chelsea- who already has World Cup experience, will be their first stumbling block on the first date of the World Cup, which will last until September of 2025.

Ecuador is “a very good team, with a coach (the Spanish Félix Sánchez) who has a marked line of play. It has players at a good level. It will be very difficult, it is a team that can put us in difficulties,” assured the Albiceleste coach, Lionel Scaloni.
