According to Argentine radio station DSPORTS 103.1, the Finallisima between Argentina and Spain may be relocated to Portugal.

After weeks of uncertainty, the Argentina vs. Spain match will not be held in Qatar, with Portugal currently leading as the preferred venue. Preliminary agreements indicate all six matches originally scheduled for the Qatar Football Festival will be relocated to Europe, including Argentina's friendly against Qatar. 

The president of the Spanish Football Federation previously stated in an interview: "We must express solidarity with countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia. We face difficulties, but so do they. They endure this around the clock. We are closely monitoring the situation and expect a decision on the venue within 48 hours. We have a formal agreement with UEFA, including subcontracts for the six matches. We've given them this deadline, and terms will be finalized soon. Time is running out. These two matches are crucial for World Cup preparations—it's about more than just playing games." 

According to AS, London Stadium (West Ham United's home ground) has been listed as a potential alternative venue, while Benfica's Estádio da Luz is another strong contender.
