Argentina will have a pretty heavy 2021 schedule as the team lead by Lionel Messi will play critical World Cup qualifiers and in the middle of the year the team will participate in Copa America that will be held in both Colombia and Argentina.

Argentina currently sits second in CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifying and will continue the competition by playing 4 games during the year. The albiceleste will play a friendly against El Salvador in May and will kick off their participation in the Copa America in June of 2021 in a group that features Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Australia, and Bolivia.

Argentina have had a fairly easy go of World Cup qualifying as they have won three of their first four games, with one draw. The Argentine national team has not won a major international tournament since the 1993 Copa America and will look to end that drought in 2021.
