How to Watch Argentina vs. Burkina Faso on TV, Live Stream
Argentina plays the second of three friendlies over the current international period when hosting Burkina Faso in Buenos Aires this Saturday.
La Albiceleste took to the field for the first time since losing the World Cup final earlier in the week, thrashing Bolivia 4–0 in the first outing since Lionel Messi announced his international retirement. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner will play his final Argentina match against Benin next Tuesday, but won’t be involved in the upcoming clash with Burkina Faso.
This will be the first-ever meeting between the sides—and potentially the last for a very long time—with Argentina the comfortable favorite to clinch victory and win a seventh match against African opposition this decade.
Here’s how viewers can catch Argentina’s game against the Stallions.

What’s Next for Argentina, Burkina Faso?
As mentioned, Messi will bring his legendary Argentina career to a close next Tuesday when playing Benin in a friendly at the Estadio Monumental. That will be La Albiceleste’s final match of the international period.
Burkina Faso has already played two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers this break, meaning the clash with Argentina will be its last outing before a return in November.
