Australia match against Argentina postponed due to lack of top p (23 Apr 2007 02:14 GMT)
Argentina's soccer international against Australia on June 6 at Melbourne has been postponed indefinitely because the South American team was concerned it could not field enough top players for the match.
Football Federation Australia said Friday it had agreed to the Argentinian Football Association's request to reschedule the match to later in the year.
"Argentina made the request due to concerns that as a result of other match commitments in Europe (made subsequent to their committing to the match in Australia) they would be unable to bring their top players nor have sufficient preparation for the match on June 6," the FFA statement said.
"FFA is committed to hosting only a full-strength Argentina team in Melbourne."
The Australian federation said it would meet with its Argentine counterpart next week to confirm a revised date.
