Argentina World Cup 2026 Tickets

Argentina has won the FIFA World Cup three times: 1978 (home soil), 1986 (Mexico, led by Diego Maradona), and 2022 (Qatar, led by Lionel Messi). The Albiceleste have reached six World Cup finals, making them one of the most successful national teams in history.

The 2022 victory in Qatar was particularly emotional as it marked Messi's crowning achievement in his legendary career. Argentina defeated France in a dramatic penalty shootout after a 3-3 draw, widely considered one of the greatest World Cup finals ever played.

Argentina's football legacy spans generations, from the "Hand of God" era of Maradona to the modern brilliance of Messi, cementing their place as one of football's most iconic nations.

As defending champions, Argentina enters the 2026 World Cup with immense pressure and high expectations. This tournament may mark Lionel Messi's World Cup farewell at age 39, creating an emotional narrative around the greatest player of his generation potentially hanging up his boots on the biggest stage.

Beyond Messi, Argentina boasts a talented young squad including Enzo Fernández, Julián Álvarez, and Alexis Mac Allister, ensuring the team remains competitive even in a post-Messi era. Can the Albiceleste become the first team to win back-to-back World Cups since Brazil in 1958 and 1962?
