On May 24, 2010, at River Plate Stadium, the National Soccer Team of
Argentina will face Canada, in the last friendly match and farewell to the
Argentine public before the South Africa World Cup.
The
event coincides with the festivities for the Bicentennial of Argentina,
so the organization is preparing a "Superbowl-style show, unprecedented
in Argentina", with the participation of international artists like
Shakira, Ricky Martin, Charly Garcia, Fito Paez, Vicentico, Diego Torres, and Katherine Jenkins singing the National Anthem of Canada.
There will also be special guests, and a high quality light show,
accompanied by fireworks. Several of the most outstanding Argentine
sports personalities will be present at the event. It will be a great
opportunity to see in action stars like Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuaín,
Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano, among many other football stars.
I want to apologize with my readers for the inaccurate information in this post. I got this news from different sources, it was published everywhere and they all announced the presence of international artists and an impressive show, that never happened:
