Activity: National team

The Argentina national football team is one of the most successful and decorated teams in the world, representing the country on the international stage. The team is governed by the Argentine Football Association, a member of FIFA since 1912 and CONMEBOL since 1916. Argentina is the current world champion and Copa América holder, having won the title three times (1978, 1986, and 2022) and a record 16 Copa América titles.

The team's history spans over a century. The team played its first official match against Uruguay in 1901, winning 3-2, or, according to another version, on July 20, 1902, winning 6-0. In its first decades, the team played primarily in South America. The first international match outside the continent took place in Lisbon against Portugal and ended in a 0-0 draw.

The Argentina national team is known for its intense rivalries with teams from Brazil, Uruguay, Germany, and England. The team's history is filled with memorable matches and dramatic finals that have cemented its status as a global football power. Lionel Messi has played the most matches for the national team—191—and is also its top scorer with 112 goals. Since 2011, Messi has also served as the team captain.

Argentina actively participates in the Copa América, having taken part in 43 of the 47 tournaments. The team leads the world in titles—16—winning 127 of the 201 matches played in the tournament. The national team has also reached the World Cup finals 18 times, demonstrating consistency and a high level of football.
