In an international football friendly match on November 15, Argentina went to Luanda to play against Angola. In this game, Rulli guarded the goal for Argentina, and main goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez did not appear in the squad.

According to Argentinian media Voxpopuli, Martinez’s absence from this game will not affect his main position in the World Cup. In this game, head coach Scaloni arranged for him to rest. This decision is part of the coaching staff's evaluation of substitute players and determination of the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup roster.

After getting a few days of rest, Martinez reunited with his family in Argentina. He posted photos of his new home on social media.
