According to Olé, ahead of the international break, Argentina will face Uruguay at La Bombonera and Costa Rica at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes. Claudio Tapia, president of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), continued a tradition by hosting a barbecue at the Lionel Andres Messi training complex. He also showed off some footwork on the pitch and joked that the video was not AI-generated.
The video, set to Abuelos de la Nada's "Costumbres argentinas," shows the AFA president placing meat on the grill, as well as on the griddle in the cafeteria of the complex in Ezeiza. On Wednesday, Scaloni's players also completed another day of training there, preparing for the match against Uruguay.
Tapia, filmed by the fire, said, "We're going to start the barbecue." In another video posted to social media, he added, "And so, we begin this grand barbecue that the Argentina national team deserves."
In another short video he posted tonight, the AFA president can be seen performing a rabona kick on a pitch at the complex. This move was not accidental, as he also used the same move during the October international break. "Look, it's not AI," he quipped in a social media post, showing another angle of the original video.
