🇦🇷 Argentina

Argentina arrive as one of the giants of the world game and recent world champions. A CONMEBOL side, they enter the 2026 World Cup rated 2100 — 1st of the 48 teams — in Group J.

Three-time winners (1978, 1986 and 2022), they pair a storied history with one of football's great national identities. They marry South American technique with fierce competitiveness and a long tradition of world-class playmakers.

Drawn alongside Austria, Algeria and Jordan, their toughest group test on paper is the meeting with Austria. Our model projects them to finish 1st in the group and to go all the way and lift the trophy.
