LEO JOINS UP WITH NATIONAL TEAM FOR FRIENDLY DOUBLE-HEADER

The Argentina team, captained by Leo Messi, began training on Monday for the friendly against Panama, which will be the Albiceleste’s first outing since they lifted the World Cup in Qatar in December 2022.

Leo returns to play on Argentine soil after having been named the best player at the last World Cup thanks to his seven goals and three assists and several weeks on from being named the Best FIFA Men’s Player.

Argentina will face Curaçao in their second friendly game of the current international window.
