Argentina switches Portugal friendly to Geneva

Argentina has moved its Feb. 9 friendly against Portugal to Geneva from London.

The Argentine football federation says the move from Arsenal's Emirates Stadium was made to avoid a clash with England playing at the same time in Copenhagen against Denmark.

The match, which could see Lionel Messi take on Cristiano Ronaldo, will be staged at the 30,000-capacity Stade de Geneve.

Argentina has previously played in Geneva, losing 3-2 against England in November 2005.
