PUEBLA, Mexico: Argentina’s Olympic football team charged that cash and electronics were stolen from players’ hotel rooms while they were playing a friendly in Mexico on Friday.

Argentina Football Association (AFA) vice president Claudio Tapia said the theft took place when Mexico and the South American team played to a 0-0 draw in the central city of Puebla on Thursday night.

Tapia said the team would stay at the Camino Real hotel until the players are compensated.

It was the last preparation game before both countries compete in the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, which start next Friday.
