UE­FA still plans for Qatar to stage the Ar­genti­na vs. Spain game known as Fi­nalis­si­ma this month even as the emi­rate is tar­get­ed by Iran­ian mis­siles in the widen­ing Mid­dle East war start­ed by Is­rael and the Unit­ed States.

“At present, there are no al­ter­na­tive venues be­ing con­sid­ered,” UE­FA said on Thurs­day about the sched­uled March 27 game in Do­ha be­tween the reign­ing cham­pi­ons of South Amer­i­ca and Eu­rope in a like­ly matchup of Li­onel Mes­si and Lamine Ya­mal.

“A fi­nal de­ci­sion is an­tic­i­pat­ed to­wards the end of next week,” said the Eu­ro­pean soc­cer body which or­ga­nizes the game with South Amer­i­can coun­ter­part CON­MEBOL.
