Los Pumas will open the Felipe Contepomi coaching era at home on Saturday, July 06. As reported by Uno, the match is to be played at the Foot of the Andes at the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in Mendoza.

Buenos Aires is set to join Mendoza in securing a Pumas match against Les Bleus. The match is expected to be played at Velez Sarsfield stadium.

The traditional third July home test match will be against a Tier 2 side. The match is awaiting confirmation but it will be across the Rio de la Plata; Los Pumas are to take-on Uruguay in Montevideo on July 20.
