The FIFA World Cup, in each of its editions, brings together thousands of fans from all over the world. The color and passion of the crowd can be felt in every stadium, although certain countries tend to stand out more than others, such as Argentina.
The 2026 edition of the tournament is no exception, with Argentina’s supporters once again making their presence felt through their jerseys, flags, and chants. A new song for this World Cup has become popular, calling on the team to fight for its fourth title.
The creativity behind this new hit features Lionel Messi as a central figure, as well as the iconic Diego Armando Maradona and his ill-fated appearance at the 1994 World Cup. These are the full lyrics of the chants sung by Argentine fans both inside stadiums and in the streets.
What are the lyrics of the Argentina fans’ songs?
Once again, Argentine fans have managed to create a hit that transcends borders. Nostalgia, admiration for their idols, and a historical claim are all part of what people chant on every corner until they lose their voices.
Lionel Messi #10 and players of Argentina line up to applaud fans.
“Soy hincha de la Selección
La aliento con el corazón,
Ganamos la tercera con Lionel,
Queremos ser campeones otra vez.
Y 32 años después, La Scaloneta va a vengar
La Copa que le robaron al diez,
La que no nos dejaron levantar.
Quiero ver la cuarta estrella,
Brillar en la camiseta.
Soy argentino de la cuna hasta el cajón.
Por Malvinas, por el Diego, por la última de Leo,
Argentina quiero verte bicampeón.”
Lyrics translated:
“I am a supporter of the national team
I cheer it on with all my heart.
We won the third title with Lionel,
and we want to be champions once again.
And 32 years later, La Scaloneta will avenge
the trophy that was taken from the No. 10,
the one we were not allowed to lift.
I want to see the fourth star shining on the jersey.
I am Argentine from cradle to grave,
for the Malvinas, for Diego, for Leo’s final chapter.
Argentina, I want to see you become back-to-back champions.”
The successor to the Qatar hit
The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar will be remembered by Argentinians for many reasons. Not only because the national team won its third world title, but also because of the iconic song “Muchachos…”, which became a true anthem for Argentina throughout the tournament and continued to echo long after the competition had ended and Argentina won their third World Cup.
“En Argentina nací
tierra de Diego y Lionel
de los pibes de Malvinas que jamás olvidaré.
No te lo puedo explicar
porque no vas a entender
las finales que perdimos, cuántos años las lloré.
Pero eso se terminó
porque en el Maracaná
la final con los brazucas la volvió a ganar papá…
Muchachos, ahora nos volvimos a ilusionar
quiero ganar la tercera, quiero ser campeón mundial
y al Diego, en el cielo lo podemos ver
con don Diego y con la Tota, alentándolo a Lionel.”
Lyrics translated:
“In Argentina I was born
land of Diego and Lionel
of the boys who went to Malvinas, who I will never forget
I can’t explain this to you
because you won’t understand
how many years I’ve cried over the finals that we lost.
But it’s all over now, because at the Maracana
in the final with Brazil, Papá (dad) won once again
Boys, now we’re dreaming again
I want to win it for the third time, I want to be world champion
and Diego, we can see him up in heaven
with Don Diego (his dad) and La Tota (his mom), cheering on Lionel.”
More Argentina fans’ chants
The creativity of Argentina’s fans when it comes to creating soccer chants is considered one of the most distinctive in the world. Another of the popular songs heard in stadiums once again pays tribute to Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona.
“Vamos Argentina, sabes que yo te quiero
Hoy hay que ganaaar, y ser Primero
Esta hinchada loca deja todo por la Copa,
La que tiene a Meeeessi y Maradona.
Pongan huevo, vaya al frente la Argentina
Pongan huevo, vaya al frente jugadores…

“Come on Argentina, you know that I love you
Today we have to win, and be number one
This crazy crowd gives everything for the Cup,
The one that has Messi and Maradona.
Put in the effort, Argentina, move forward
Put in the effort, players, keep pushing…
We all came together to the USA,
We all came together to become champions…”
The song that fuels Argentina’s players
When a team needs an extra burst of energy to push for a goal, the support of its fans can be a key factor. Argentina, true to their tradition, have the perfect chant for those moments:
“Vamos vamos Seleccioooon
