Argentina World Cup history
Argentina are three-time world champions (1978, 1986 and 2022) and the defending titleholders, appearing at the finals 18 times. Their 2022 triumph in Qatar, sealed on penalties against France after a 3-3 thriller, gave Lionel Messi the one trophy that had eluded him and cemented one of the greatest finals ever played.
What to know for 2026
- Defending champions chasing the first back-to-back World Cup win since Brazil in 1958 and 1962.
- Lionel Messi headlines a record sixth tournament under coach Lionel Scaloni, alongside in-form striker Lautaro Martínez.
- Reigning Copa América champions arrive as one of the clear favourites for 2026.
