20 Liga Profesional Players Called Up for International Friendlies

Across Argentina’s club calendar, the international window is drawing players from 13 Liga Profesional sides into six national-team groups for a series of friendlies.

Key takeaways

  • Six national teams will play friendly matches during the FIFA international period.
  • Thirteen clubs from Argentina’s top division have players involved.
  • The selections include six goalkeepers from the Liga Profesional.

Argentina’s clubs feel the international call

The call-ups underline the broad reach of the Argentine domestic game beyond its own borders. Players based in the Liga Profesional have been selected across six different countries, with the coming fixtures arranged as friendly internationals rather than competitive qualifiers.

Goalkeepers form a notable part of the group, with six keepers summoned from Argentine clubs. The wider contingent is spread across 13 teams in the country’s professional top flight, giving the window a continental dimension even while the league’s clubs remain at home.

A window of varied circumstances

The international selections come with different individual circumstances around the squads and their upcoming matches. What is clear is that Argentina’s league will be represented in several camps during the FIFA dates, with club players preparing to join their respective national sides for the friendly programme.
