New Delhi: The current European champion and the Copa América winner will square off in the second edition of the Finalissima in 2025 between the invincible champions of Europe, Spain and the two consecutive times Copa title holders, Argentina. After two editions in 1985 and 1993, when the trophy was known as the Artemio Franchi Cup, the competition was resurrected in 2022.
Argentina defeated Italy 3-0 to win the inaugural Finalissima, which took place in London. Though the precise site has not yet been revealed, it has officially been announced that the second edition will take place in a South American nation. This choice demonstrates a dedication to switching up the host continents, guaranteeing a more global appeal and an equal chance for spectators to see this esteemed event.

Regarding the match’s timing, the daily Marca notes that June is a good possibility—that is, if the winner of Euro 2024 doesn’t make it to the Nations League finals, which take place around that time. This scheduling issue emphasizes how difficult it is to squeeze a high-profile football game into a schedule that is already packed, while yet allowing the top teams and players to play without having to conflict with other obligations.
It’s also important to remember that the Finalissima does not have extra time, so in the event of a stalemate after 90 minutes, penalties will be used to decide the game. This rule is intended to guarantee a conclusive result in a reasonable amount of time while adding an added element of excitement and urgency to the match.
