Argentina enjoys easy knockout draw at World Cup 2026

Argentina finished the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a perfect nine points, beating Algeria 3‑0, Austria 2‑0 and Jordan 3‑1 to top Group J. The victory was celebrated by the squad in their Kansas City camp, where players and federation president Claudio Tapia grilled together.

The draw places the world champions against the debutants Green Islands in the round of 16, with a potential clash against Australia or Egypt in the quarter‑finals and a path that avoids the traditional European powers until a possible final. The team’s next matches are scheduled for July 3 in Miami, July 7 in Atlanta and July 11 in Kansas City.
