AIFF to seek technical help from Argentina

All India Football Federation (AIFF) will be meeting Argentine Football Association (AFA) officials to seek technical assistance on the sidelines of an international friendly between Argentina and Venezuela in Kolkata.

Celebrity Management Group (CMG), which is organising the match, said the AFA has shown interest in AIFF's request for a proposed meeting on the sidelines of the September 2 match, which will be the first non-India friendly to be held in the country.

"AIFF had requested us to organise a meeting with AFA. The AFA was more than interested in meeting the AIFF and discuss the possibility of a development project," Dharamdutt Pandey, chief executive of CMG, said here yesterday.

The Argentina-Venezuela match, featuring stars like Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez, Javier Masceranho and Angel Di Maria, will be held at a whopping cost of R220 million. The match will also be the first international assignment of newly appointed Argentine manager Alejandro Sabella.
