Soccer in Argentina is a very old tradition. Already at the end of the 19th century, the first team tournaments were organized in that country and the first international game of the Albiceleste took place on May 17, 1901 against Uruguay, in which the Argentines won 3-2 as visitors in Montevideo.
From there, the Argentine team has been able to reap many successes, mainly on their continent, where together with Uruguay they are the top winners of the American Cup. They have also won the World Cup on more than one occasion, something that not many teams have been able to do in the history.
Great players have worn the Albiceleste shirt throughout history and that is why it is understood that it is such a winning team. Cases like those of Gabriel Batistuta, Hernan Crespo, Sergio Agüero, Angel Di María and of course the greatest exponents, Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi; are some of the many great players that Argentina gave.
List of trophies won by Argentina
For this list, only those titles won by the absolute team of Argentina will be taken into account, not those won by youth teams nor those unofficial friendly tournaments.Although the Albiceleste is one of the teams with the longest winning tradition not only in South America but in the entire world, it had to endure a drought of 18 years without winning a single title at the senior level.
From 1993, the year in which Argentina was crowned champion of the Copa America and the now defunct Artemio Franchi Cup, now CONMEBOL-UEFA Cup of Champions, to 2021, there was not a single international success of his. Until the last edition of the Copa America broke the curse. And it seems that the boom could continue.
The Albiceleste’s most recent new title is the 2022 Finalissima, in which they beat Italy 3-0 at London’s Wembley Stadium. The goals were scored by Ángel Di María, Lautaro Martinez, and Paulo Dybala. Could Argentina extend its good run to Qatar 2022?
