About Argentina
Snapshot of Argentina's 2026 squad and outlook.
Argentina arrive at the 2026 FIFA World Cup as defending champions, looking to emulate Brazil's 1958-62 back-to-back victories. Lionel Messi, who finally completed his World Cup fairy-tale at Qatar 2022, will be 38 years old and playing in what is almost certainly his last World Cup - a once-in-a-generation farewell that will captivate the footballing world. Under the exceptionally tactically intelligent Lionel Scaloni, La Albiceleste blend Messi's genius with the predatory instincts of Inter Milan's Lautaro Martínez and the emergence of Julián Álvarez. Group J against Austria, Algeria, and Jordan is a very favourable draw for the world champions, who will rightly be installed as one of the two or three leading title contenders.
