Argentina World Cup History

The Argentina national team have achieved considerably at the FIFA World Cup, winning the tournament on multiple occasions.

The first success came at the 1978 edition held on home soil. Mario Kempes bagged six goals, including two in the World Cup Final, as Argentina overcame the Netherlands at Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires.

Eight years later Argentina returned to the pinnacle of international football, thanks to a stunning World Cup campaign inspired by Diego Maradona. The iconic striker netted five times in Mexico 1986, with two of them coming against England in the quarter-finals, guiding Argentina to victory over West Germany in the Final.

La Albiceleste captured World Cup honours for the third time in 2022, bringing an end to the South American nation's 36-year wait to reclaim this prestigious trophy.

Argentina's Memorable Moments at the World Cup

Of course, their maiden World Cup triumph will live long in the memory for Argentina supporters of a certain age. For those supporters who had the privilege to witness and enjoy the celebrations first hand, these are memories that will forever be cherished.

Perhaps their second success was even sweeter, as La Albiceleste staked their claim as the best national team in world football. Maradona scored two goals in the space of five minutes versus England, one of them simply remarkable and the other more deceptive.

Maradona first produced the 'Goal of the Century' by dribbling more than half the length of the pitch, past at least five opposing players and goalkeeper Peter Shilton, before the diminutive attacker pulled off a sly finish which has since gone on to be known as the 'Hand of God'.

In more recent times, Argentina came within touching distance of the World Cup trophy in 2014. Messi steered his nation to the World Cup Final in Brazil, though the South Americans were ultimately beaten by Germany in extra-time at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro.

Messi would redeem himself in 2022, scoring seven goals at the showpiece event staged in Qatar. Argentina edged France in what has been tipped as the greatest World Cup Final of all time, with Messi notching two goals on the night.

Best Argentina Players at the World Cup

Maradona and Messi are, without question, two of the most important figures in the history of the Argentina national football team. Both of them led La Albiceleste to World Cup glory with assertive performances on the grandest stage.

Other world-class talents who have represented Argentina at the World Cup include the likes of Mario Kempes, Gabriel Batistuta, Juan Sebastián Verón, and Ángel Di María.

Top Argentina Coaches at the World Cup

César Luis Menotti was Argentina manager at the 1978 World Cup, before his countryman Carlos Bilardo also guided La Albiceleste to the world title in 1986.

Diego Maradona took charge of the national team for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, though Argentina failed to progress beyond the quarter-finals.

Lionel Scaloni would be the one to oversee the successful 2022 tournament in which Argentina emerged victorious.

Argentina at the 2026 World Cup

Argentina got off to a flyer by beating Algeria 3-0 with Lionel Messi scoring a superb hat-trick.

Austria were a tougher nut to crack in the second game but Leo Messi made it five goals from two games with a brace in a 2-0 win. The group stage was completed with a 3-1 victory over Jordan, Messi scored again, a free-kick, having started the match as a substitute.

Argentina's first two knockout matches were amongst the best in the whole tournament. Cape Verde were expected to be brushed aside, but they took the world champions to extra-time with an own goal from a corner deciding the match in Argentina's favour 3-2.

The round of 16 versus Egypt was somehow even more dramatic. With 11 minutes remaining, Argentina were 2-0 down and heading out of the World Cup. Up popped Cristian Romero, then Leo Messi and finally Enzo Fernandez in the 92nd minute, to win an incident-packed encounter 3-2.

Argentina booked their place in the World Cup semi-finals thanks to a 3-1 win over Switzerland. Alexis Macallister had headed Argentina into the lead. Dan Ndoye levelled for the Swiss but five minutes after equalising Breel Embolo was sent off for a second yellow card. Lionel Scaloni's side won the match in the final minutes of extra-time, thanks to a stunner from Julian Alvarez and a third by Lautaro Martinez.

In the World Cup semi-final against England in Atlanta, Argentina fell behind just after half-time to an Anthony Gordon goal. Lionel Scaloni's side came roaring back with an excellent display in the final minutes of the game. Enzo Fernandez equalised on 86 minutes. Lautaro Martinez won it on 92. Leo Messi bagged both assists.

Official Argentina Ticket Prices For World Cup 2026

Official tickets are available to eligible supporters through the Asociación del Fútbol Argentino (AFA). As with every participating nation, the AFA receives an 8% allocation of each stadium's saleable capacity per match, structured across four tiers: Supporter Premier (Cat 1), Supporter Standard (Cat 2), Supporter Value (Cat 3), and the limited Supporter Entry Tier.

Argentina's enormous global fanbase means demand for every one of their matches is among the highest in the tournament, and face-value prices are simply a starting point.

A full run from group stage to the final in New Jersey would cost supporters upwards of £2,300 at Cat 3. Though for a potential Messi farewell to the sport's biggest stage, many will consider it priceless.

Through the AFA, a $60 Entry Tier allocation is available to the most loyal registered members across all 104 matches, confirmed by FIFA as representing 10% of each federation's per-game share. With Argentina boasting one of the most passionate and numerous travelling fanbases in world football, competition for these few hundred entry-level seats per match will be ferocious. Early registration through official AFA channels is essential.
