History of the Argentina national football team information
The history of the Argentina national football team begins with their first official match, played on 20 July 1902 against Uruguay, a 6–0 win in Paso del Molino, Montevideo.[1][2][3] One year before, There had been a precedent when representatives from both sides met in a match also in Montevideo, although it was not organised by any association and therefore is not considered official.[4]
Since their inception in 1902, the Argentina national team has appeared in six FIFA World Cup finals, including the inaugural final in 1930, 1978 (when the team won its first World Cup beating the Netherlands), the 1986 (winning its second World Cup after defeating West Germany), 1990, 2014, and the 2022 (when the team won its third World Cup after defeating France).
Argentina has been very successful in the Copa América, winning it 15 times and also winning the "extra" South American Championships in 1941, 1945 and 1946. The team also won the FIFA Confederations Cup and the Kirin Cup, both in 1992, and the Argentine olympic team won the Olympics football tournaments in Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008.[5]
