(CNN Spanish):
Just four days are left for the start of the long-awaited World Cup in Qatar 2022, and the teams are finalizing details and looking for the latest set-up for the competition.
Within this framework, this Wednesday will be an important day of friendlies, the last for most, and will have Argentina and Mexico as protagonists.
The South American national team, which, led by Lionel Messi, seeks to lift the highest trophy in world football after almost 40 years, will face the United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi.
The team led by Lionel Scaloni has its 26 players available and will have the chance to face a team that, in style, looks a lot like Saudi Arabia, the rival of the debut in Group C of the World Cup next Tuesday, November 22 .
Although the Argentine coach has not yet confirmed the lineup, the presence of Lionel Messi is assured.
The game will begin at 10:30 a.m. ET (12:30 p.m. Argentina).

There will also be action for Mexico, who is also part of Group C. The team led by Argentine Gerardo "Tata" Martino, who has just beaten Iraq 4-0, will have a more complicated crossover, as they will face Sweden, who did not qualify for the World Cup.
The match, which will be held in the city of Gerona, Spain, is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. Mexico).
