The ninth round of the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup continues this Thursday with the match between Venezuela and Argentina, where the Albiceleste aims for a victory to maintain its lead.
Coach Lionel Scaloni’s team will seek to return to winning ways after falling to Colombia in the previous match, and they will have all their star players, including Lionel Messi, who missed the September FIFA date due to injury. During that period, Argentina secured a big win against Chile but later lost to Colombia.
The match faced uncertainty for hours due to a one-day postponement of the Argentine delegation’s travel from Florida because of Hurricane Milton’s approach. The impending storm raised concerns about the team’s travel, which could have forced the postponement of the game against Venezuela, a possibility considered by Conmebol and FIFA.
Here are the details of both teams’ lineups, the match time, and how to watch it live on TV and streaming.
