Lionel Messi is set to return for Argentina's final FIFA World Cup 2026 warm-up match against Iceland, with head coach Lionel Scaloni confirming the captain will play while his minutes are carefully managed.
The letter said it expressed the position of its 10 members: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.
Following 2020's edition, Copa America will be held every four years with the tournament set to head to Ecuador in 2024.
Notably, Argentina will play their Copa America campaign opener against Chile at El Monumental on 12 June. The same was announced on Tuesday.
Albiceleste team director Cesar Menotti told reporters earlier this month that a verbal agreement had been reached with Scaloni to extend the terms of his contract, which had been due to expire in December.
Recently, under Scaloni, the Argentina football team made it to the semi-finals of the 2019 Copa America where they faced the eventual champions Brazil. But they suffered a 2-0 loss at the hands of Brazil and were knocked out of the race for the coveted trophy.
Aguero has scored just once in four matches in this tournament, prompting doubts about whether he would hold his place in the Albiceleste attack alongside Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martinez
Argentina set up a clash against the hosts at the Mineirao in Belo Horizonte by beating Venezuela 2-0 at the Maracana stadium on Friday.
Manchester City's forward Aguero has not played with the national team since last year's early FIFA World Cup exit in the round of 16 at the hands of France, who went on to win the title, reports EFE news.
Argentina will meet Iraq in Riyadh on October 12 and Brazil in Jeddah four days later.
