The squad of 29 players announced on Monday will be cut by three by coach Lionel Scaloni when he finalizes the group on June 12.

Midfielder Dybala was part of Argentina's World Cup-winning squad in 2022. Argentina will play Ecuador on June 9 in Chicago, and five days later Guatemala in Landover, Maryland.

An agreement in principle to sign the-then-13-year-old Messi was written on the napkin almost 25 years ago at a Barcelona tennis club. - Photo: X/ @TheEuropeanLad
