BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentina's FA (AFA) has dispelled fears it might withdraw the national team from this month's Copa America Centenario in the United States after the organisation came under judicial scrutiny over television revenue.

Judge Maria Servini de Cubria ordered on Monday that a lawyer and an accountant be installed at the AFA for three months to look at alleged irregularities in its management of match broadcasting funds.
