Argentina will play in the Copa America Centenario after officials dismissed fears that the team would be withdrawn from the tournament.
There were suggestions the Argentina FA (AFA) could prevent the national team from playing 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.
The order, which included suspending a proposed AFA presidential election on June 30, met with resistance from board members who threatened to withdraw Argentina from the Copa which kicks off on Friday.
However, AFA president Luis Segura denied the team would be flown home.
"I'm not resigning and there is no possibility of the national team returning from the United States," Segura said.
"There is no possibility the football will stop, nor that Boca Juniors won't play the Copa Libertadores," he added referring to the July semi-finals of South America's elite club tournament that the Buenos Aires-based team are favourites to win.
Argentina, captained by Lionel Messi, are favourites to win the Copa America and start their Group D campaign against holders Chile in California on Monday before taking on Bolivia and Panama.
