Argentina at World Cup 2026
Argentina are the defending World Cup champions, arriving at FIFA World Cup 2026 as FIFA's number one ranked side under the continued stewardship of Lionel Scaloni. Their 2022 triumph in Qatar — secured in one of the greatest finals ever played — was the defining achievement of an era built around Lionel Messi. At 38, Messi may be making his final World Cup appearance, adding a poignant, emotional layer to every Argentina match. Around him, Lautaro Martínez has emerged as one of the world's most clinical strikers, Emiliano Martínez remains a world-class shot-stopper who won the Best Goalkeeper award in 2022, and Enzo Fernández anchors midfield with composure beyond his years. Argentina are unbeaten in competitive international football over multiple years, a run that speaks to the group's unity and belief. Defending the title on foreign soil is historically the hardest task in football, but this Argentina side has the quality and mentality to attempt the unprecedented back-to-back.
