Argentina seek to emulate Italy and Brazil as back-to-back champions

Lionel Scaloni’s men have kept the core of the squad that won at Qatar 2022, went on to retain the Copa America in ‌2024 and then topped South America’s qualifying group with ease.

Dripping talent and forged by success, Argentina aim to become the first men’s team to retain the World Cup since Brazil in 1962 and the only nation to do so entirely outside their own region.
