The Argentine Football Association will receive 12 million euros for a friendly match that will be attended by several officials and sports figures. However, Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone was unwilling to risk his players before an important La Liga match against Getafe and European games. Therefore, Scaloni did not call up the stars of the Argentina national team from Atletico Madrid—Julian Alvarez, Nahuel Molina, and Gianluca Simeone, the coach's son—on Monday. This decision was made because several players from the 2022 world champion Argentina national team refused to get the yellow fever vaccine before the friendly match against Angola on Friday. This match is the only one that Lionel Scaloni's team will play during the international break to celebrate Angola's Independence Day.
