Argentina has canceled the preparatory match against Israel. The match was scheduled to be held in Jerusalem on Saturday.

Argentine Football Association president Claudio Tapiio confirmed the matter at a news conference, "Our focus is now on the whole of the World Cup."
Before joining the World Cup, Argentina had planned to play two warm-up matches as all teams. The second was to play on Saturday after winning 4-0 in the first match with Haiti. But for the political reason, the match against the Israeli side was to be canceled by the Argentine Football Association.
After the cancellation of the match against Israel, it was probable that the final preparation match could not be played with any other country before. Malta, Moldova, San Marino and Writtentin Argentina have canceled the final warm-up game so that the preparations against such a weak opponent should not be better than playing matches.
