Panama officials have lined up Barcelona and Argentina star Lionel
Messi for an exhibition game on July 18, just a week after the
World Cup finishes in South Africa.
The match, which will open Panama's remodeled Rommel
Fernandez stadium, will be played between a team of European and
Latin American players and coached by Brazilian Zico and German
Bern Schuster.
Officials on Wednesday said only Messi had been secured to
play, and that the others will be announced later.
