Argentina v Benin: Venue, kick-off time and TV channels

The Cheetahs will face Argentina's Albiceleste in a friendly at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires, with kick-off at midnight Benin time on Wednesday 7 October.

Benin are set to experience a first-of-its-kind encounter. Gernot Rohr’s side have never faced Argentina on the international stage, so this match will be the first-ever meeting between the two teams.

This fixture also carries historical significance. The Beninese will be playing in Lionel Messi’s farewell match for Argentina. The legend of the Albiceleste and world football will be wearing the national shirt for the last time, and the Estadio Monumental is set to witness his final moments in the Argentine colours.
