Buenos Aires, Argentina - September 5, 2024. Chilean fans from the town of Osorno unfurl a flag as they await the start of the match between the Argentine National Team and the Chilean Football Federation. The Argentine National Team returns to the South American Qualifiers facing Chile at the Monumental Stadium, for the seventh matchday on the road to the 2026 World Cup. It will be the first match for Lionel Scaloni's team in front of its home crowd after becoming two-time continental champions by winning the 2024 Copa América, a title that marked the retirement of Ángel Di María from the national team. Lionel Messi will not be present, as he continues to recover from an ankle injury suffered in the final against Colombia. PHOTO/UNAR Photo.
