Both of Argentina's planned friendlies in China have been canceled by local authorities after Lionel Messi did not play in an Inter Miami match in Hong Kong last weekend.

Beijing's football association said on Saturday that it would not organise Argentina's scheduled friendly clash against the Ivory Coast in March. The news comes a day after Hangzhou's sports authorities also canceled a friendly between Argentina and Nigeria.
