Argentina and Brazil have never faced each other in the history of the World Cup final. But this time these two teams are going to fight for the title in the World Cup final. But it is not in football, the two neighboring countries of Latin America are facing each other in the Futsal World Cup.
The FIFA Futsal World Cup started in Uzbekistan on September 14. Argentina faced France in the semi-finals on Thursday (October 2). Brazil will face Ukraine in the other semi. Argentina beat France 3-2 to reach the final. Brazil won against Ukraine by the same margin.
Futsal is a game much like football. Argentina became the first champion in FIFA World Cup Futsal in 2016. They lost to Portugal in the final of the 2021 Futsal World Cup. With this, the team reached the final for the third time.
Brazil last played in the Futsal World Cup finals in Thailand in 2012. Brazil beat Spain 3-2 to win the championship. After that, they could not reach the final of futsal. They are fighting for the title for the second time.
The final will be held at Humo Arena in Tashkent next Sunday (October 6) at 7 pm Bangladesh time. A packed audience is expected for the final as well. Although the indoor arena has a spectator capacity of only 12,500. However, that does not diminish the appeal of the Brazil-Argentina final.
