The match had been originally slated to take place in China, but it was called off due to a disagreement between Argentina’s superstar Lionel Messi and Chinese soccer officials.
Messi infuriated the Chinese by declining to play in a friendly between Hong Kong X1 and Inter Miami, his team.
At the time, the forward was dealing with a groin issue.
