Los Yakarés prepare to open Olympic Qualifiers vs Argentina

Los Yakarés are to take on Argentina in the opening fixture of the men’s section of the 2015 CONSUR Sevens in Santá Fé this Friday. The Argentine city is playing host to Olympic Games Qualification with Paraguay being involved in both the men’s and women’s categories.
