Tickets for the match sold out almost instantly, but fans can still watch the players at Al Nahyan Stadium.
A city like Abu Dhabi wears many hats, from entertainment to education to sports. With Lionel Messi and Argentina’s upcoming arrival, their bid to be a major international sports destination kicks into high gear.
A friendly match between the UAE and Argentina sold out at Mohamed bin Zayed Stadium faster than you can say football! A ticketed training session is planned at Al Nahyan Stadium on 14 November, so there’s still hope.
Messi’s announcement that the upcoming Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup will be his last amplifies the gravity of the moment. This is a big moment for Abu Dhabi that his final warm-up match will be held here before he chases the ultimate prize in football.
The emirate is hosting world-class sports championships including Spartan, MWTC, and more, so sports enthusiasts and novices alike have a lot to look forward to. And the UAE-Argentina match falls just before the 14th Formula One Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend.
