Argentina's honours stretch from 1921 to 2024 - 103 years between the first trophy on record and the most recent. Generations of players, one shirt. The team has been to 18 World Cups.

Argentina currently sit No. 2 in the world ranking with 1836 points. Ranking points have moved from 1744 to 1829 across the period on record here, which is the honest way to describe a national side: not fixed, just always rebuilding.

The fixtures on this page are listed newest first, and September 2026 is the most recent. Read as a run rather than as isolated results, 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss tell the same story as the table but with the noise removed.

The venues on record are Buenos Aires, Quito, Montevideo. Away fixtures in this window were played in front of the loudest crowds a national side can face, and the score lines above are the reason coaches talk about managing travel and crowds as part of a campaign. Every one of these is a competitive fixture rather than a friendly, which is the context the ranking on this page is built from.

Argentina do not play one competition. The list on this page runs: the World Cup itself, the Copa America, the World Cup qualifying campaign.

Qualifying is the part supporters never see and every supporter judges. Argentina currently sit No. 2 in the world with 1836 points, and the gap between one ranking place and the next is a handful of points - which is why a single bad qualifying run changes the way an entire campaign is remembered. Argentina hold three World Cups and are the reigning champions, with a squad that mixes a high-pressing front line with an unusually disciplined defensive block.
