Argentina - 2026 FIFA World Cup

Argentina are the defending World Cup champions and arrive in 2026 with Lionel Messi in what will likely be his final World Cup appearance, fully motivated to defend the title he won so emotionally in Qatar. Group J places them against Algeria, Austria, and Jordan when play begins June 16, a group they should advance through. La Albiceleste have the belief, experience, and talent to make a serious run at back-to-back titles.
