Lionel Scaloni led the team's first test on Chinese soil ahead of the friendly against Australia, on Thursday. With the squad almost complete, the players performed activation exercises, in two groups, in one of the rooms of the hotel.

In the afternoon, the delegation was joined by players Emiliano Martínez and Alexis Mac Allister. Argentina will play two matches on this tour, next Thursday 15, at 9 am, in Beijing, against Australia; and on Monday 19, in Jakarta, Indonesia, against the local team.
