The world champion, Argentina, debuts this Tuesday in the World Cup 2026, when they face the Algerian team on the first day of Group J.
This will be the debut of the Albiceleste team, which will begin its path in search of the two-time championship, an achievement that only two teams have achieved in history: Italy and Brazil. For this reason, the Argentine team begins its journey today with the aim of winning two consecutive titles.
The team led by Lionel Scaloni will seek to start with a victory against Algeria. Argentina arrives with its stellar team and with the base of the team that was crowned champion three and a half years ago. In addition, it will have Lionel Messi as the great figure of the Albiceleste team. The forward has 13 goals in World Cups and will play in his sixth World Cup event, a historic event in the competition.
The meeting between Argentina and Algeria is scheduled for 7 p.m. in Guatemala, in Kansas City, where the current monarch will seek to debut with a victory. Follow the minute by minute of the match here.
