Argentina's national soccer team plans to play an exhibition game
in the United States this year after the World Cup.
The Argentine Football Association and Cardenas Marketing
Network announced a partnership agreement Monday extending through
June 2014. The deal includes the AFA's broadcast, marketing and
sponsorship rights in the U.S. and gives CMN the right to organize
games in Italy, Germany and Spain.
There are four international fixture periods this year after
the World Cup, when clubs are required to release players to
national teams: Aug. 11, Sept. 3-7, Oct. 8-12 and Nov. 17. CMS
spokeswoman Meredith Powell said the match will be played within a
fixture period.
