Argentina will also wear it in further warm-up games against Costa Rica (Los Angeles, Tuesday 26 March) and Guatemala (Washington D.C., 13 June) before the Copa América gets underway.
Lionel Scaloni’s team had into the summer tournament as favourites to win a third successive international title having also won the 2021 Copa América in additional to the last World Cup.
