RANCHI: As Italy take on India in FIH Olympic Qualifiers here on Tuesday night, there will be a lot of Argentinean presence on the pitch.
After all, most of the Italian players have Italian-Argentinian citizenship which allows them to choose between the two countries either because of their grandparents or because they were born there. And then there are three players - Lara Oviedo, Ivanna Pessina, and Camila Machin - who used to play for the women's national team in Argentina but have later shifted to playing for Italy.
