"The AFA received a proposal to hold the match at a neutral venue, Italy, on 27 March," the statement read. "Unfortunately, Uefa announced that holding the match on the 31st - just four days later than the original proposal - was not possible, and the Finalissima was cancelled." "Spain, together with Uefa, has offered all possibilities." On Saturday the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Formula 1 Grands Prix due to be held in April were cancelled. The Finalissima, which is staged every four years and is organised by Uefa and Conmebol, was last won by Argentina at Wembley in 2022.
