The training session of the Argentine national team was canceled in preparation for facing the Egyptian national team in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup.
The Tango qualified for the round of 16 with a hard-fought victory over Cape Verde with a score of 3-2 after reaching extra time.
The Argentine national team conducted its training in the sports hall of the American club Inter Miami, where they played the Cape Verde match on Saturday.
The reason is the thunderstorms that prevented the Tango from conducting recovery training after the hard-fought victory over Cape Verde after 120 minutes.

Previously, Lionel Scaloni, the coach of Argentina, expressed his dissatisfaction with the short time between the round of 32 and the round of 16 matches.
The 2022 edition champion said in the press conference: "What's next? It's time to rest now. I don't know how the World Cup is organized, but we used to have 6 days of rest, and now we only have 3 and a half days. When you are in dire need of rest, you get the least of it. It's very hard to understand that."
