    After several days of waiting, it is finally the turn of the Argentine National Team. At the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, the Albiceleste will face their debut in the 2026 World Cup against Algeria, corresponding to the first match of Group J, with the mission of starting the journey to defend the title won in Qatar 2022.

    The team led by Lionel Scaloni arrives at this match as the No. 1 in the FIFA Ranking and with a perfect record in the matches played so far this year. Of their four friendlies played in international windows, the national team won all, although against much lower-level opponents (2-1 against Mauritania, 5-0 against Zambia, 2-0 against Honduras, and 3-0 against Iceland).

In 2026, “The Desert Foxes” achieved 3 victories, two of them by large margins (7-0 against Guatemala and 4-0 against Bolivia) and one against a European powerhouse (1-0 against the Netherlands away), and 1 draw (0-0 against Uruguay).
