Argentina vs Burkina Faso Friendly Could Be Postponed After Flight Delay in Morocco
Argentina’s friendly against Burkina Faso is facing uncertainty after further delays disrupted the African team’s journey from Morocco to Buenos Aires.
Burkina Faso were expected to arrive in Argentina ahead of Saturday’s match, but their travel plans were affected after their scheduled charter flight from Morocco was cancelled. A replacement flight was later arranged but also faced delays.
The situation has raised concerns over whether the Burkinabe team will arrive in Buenos Aires in time to play the match as scheduled.
If Burkina Faso cannot make it in time, Argentina could change the order of their two friendlies and face Benin instead. Benin are already in Buenos Aires ahead of their scheduled meeting with Argentina on October 6.
The Argentina Football Association has not announced a change to the fixture, meaning the Argentina-Burkina Faso match remains officially scheduled for now.
The final decision could depend on the arrival of the Burkina Faso delegation and whether the team is able to prepare adequately before kick-off.
