The president of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), Claudio Tapia, expressed his preference for the next Finalissima between Argentina and Spain to be held at the Monumental Stadium, in Buenos Aires. This statement comes amid speculation about the venue for the match, with the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium as another option. Tapia indicated that, although the Spanish federation shows a certain preference for playing on Iberian territory, his wish is for River Plate’s stadium to be the venue for the match.
