Guide
Concerns
Argentina have not announced their final squad yet as they are still competing in the CONMEBOL qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. As the defending champions, they will most likely announce their tournament group as the qualifying comes to close and FIFA confirms the final squad list.

Guide
Fan storyline
Argentina have already qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after finishing at the top of the CONMEBOL qualifying campaign. As the defending world champions, they secured their place in March 2025 and became the first South American team to qualify for the tournament. The 2026 edition will mark Argentina’s 19th World Cup appearance. Their official squad for the finals has already been announced, and Lionel Scaloni leads a team built around many of the core players from the title-winning 2022 campaign. Argentina are competing in Group J, where they face Algeria, Austria and Jordan, as they begin their attempt to defend the World Cup title.

World Cup History
Team History: Argentina FIFA World Cup record
阿根廷是世界杯历史中最具辨识度的球队之一，蓝白军团的记忆从1978年主场首次夺冠开始，在1986年马拉多纳带队登顶时形成世界级传奇。1990年再次打进决赛后，阿根廷经历了漫长等待，巴蒂斯图塔、里克尔梅、克雷斯波等一代代球员延续竞争力，却始终与冠军擦肩。梅西时代让这段历史完成新的闭环：2014年进入决赛留下遗憾，2022年则在斯卡洛尼的团队框架下击败法国，第三次捧起世界杯。面向2026，阿根廷的历史既是荣耀，也是压力，球队需要在冠军班底、年轻球员和战术更新之间继续保持平衡。
