Abstract: We exploit Zlil Sela's description of the structure of groups having the same elementary theory as free groups: they and their finitely generated subgroups form a prescribed subclass E of the hyperbolic limit groups. We prove that if $G_1,\mathrm{...},G_n$ are in E then a subgroup $Gammasubset{G}_{1}imes\mathrm{...}imes{G}_n$ is of type $F{P}_n$ if and only if $Gamma$ is itself, up to finite index, the direct product of at most $n$ groups from $mathcalE$. This answers a question of Sela.
