"Although the March date is still pending, we have confirmed the matches prior to the World Cup in June, which would be against Mexico and Honduras. We would play them here, in the United States; the stadiums still need to be decided," he told Diario Olé.
"It will be a great test, because they are always very good matches and it’s just 15 days before the start of the World Cup," he added.
The two teams last met in the group stage of Qatar 2022, when Argentina defeated Mexico 2-0.
