BUENOS AIRES - Argentina will play
Portugal in a friendly at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium on February 9, the Argentine
Football Association (AFA) said.
The game will be played at Emirates Stadium, the home of the Gunners. The last time the two
countries met was during a tournament in Brazil in 1972 when
Portugal won 3-1.
The AFA said on its website that
Argentina would also play friendlies against the United States
in Seattle on March 26 and Costa Rica at the inauguration of
their new national stadium in San Jose three days later.
Argentina and Portugal have both scored four goals against
world champions Spain in friendlies since the World Cup.
They
have also both played at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium before, in friendlies
against Brazil.
