🇦🇷 Argentina’s Road to 2026
Argentina sits top of the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying table and needs just one more point from their remaining matches to secure their spot in the 2026 tournament. Despite Messi’s absence, Lautaro Martínez, Julián Álvarez, and Ángel Di María provide plenty of firepower.

After a shaky start, Brazil has regained form, sitting third in qualifying following a dramatic 2-1 win over Colombia (thanks to a 99th-minute winner from Vinicius Jr.). A victory in Buenos Aires would put them in strong contention to challenge Argentina for the top spot.
