The Libyan friendlies were finally confirmed: Argentina will trovel today toward Tripoli in order to face the Mato Stankovic selection in two games. Both matches should be played in the capital city, respectively on August 8th and 10th. After that, the Fabian Lopez's roster will take part in the Thailand World 5's international tournament, where host Thailand and Ukraine are already confirmed to play. For the Thai event also players like Diego Giustozzi, Matías Lucuix and Marcelo Giménez should be added in the roster.

Below you can have a look at the official list of players who will face Libya, while some other athletes will keep on working in Buenos Aires with the team physical trainer Marcelo Lombardini, we refer to: Carlos Sánchez, Fernando Wilhelm, Leandro Planas, Hernán Garcías, Lucas Maina, Esteban González and Javier López.

In the Libyan list was also included the Napoli's Sebastian Corazza, who finally won't travel due to an injury suffered during the last training session.
As reported by the Argentinian "bible" Pasion Futsal, the Lazio Collefferro's Gerardo Battistoni is already training with Italy and won't therefore wear the Argentinian shirt. That was also caused by the fact that, living in Rosario, Battistoni had problems with AFA in arranging his staying in Buenos Aires.
