The Argentine national team suspended its match against the host of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, in the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo, and returned to his home country yesterday, Sunday.
The players of the “Tango Dancers” team were forced to leave the field seven minutes after the start of the match when they were attacked by Brazilian health officials.
This was due to concerns about the corona virus for three of the Argentine national team players who were to be in isolation at the behest of the Brazilian health agency, but the match began as they were on the team in violation of the rules.
Daniel Scully, Argentina’s ambassador to Brazil, arrived at the airport with his country’s delegation and said the group had begun procedures for leaving Brazil.
