Rumors on the three overage players for Olympics

Rumors in the media the past week have been circulating over who the 3 overage players will be for Argentina during the Olympics.

The last time Argentina took part in the 2009 Olympic games in football, Juan RIQUELME, Javier MASCHERANO and Nicolas PAREJA were the three players over the age of 23 who represented the Albiceleste. In 2004, it was Roberto AYALA, Gabriel HEINZE and Kily GONZALEZ.

The three names for 2016 appear to be goalkeeper Geronimo RULLI and defenders Ramiro FUNES MORI and Mateo MUSACCHIO.

While these names are not set in stone, they do appear to be the 3 overage players who will represent Argentina this summer in Rio.
