The first ever match Argentina played was against Uruguay on 20 June 1902,{{refn|There is a precedent of a match played between an Argentine representative against an Uruguayan side, on 16 May 1901, in Paso del Molino. Nevertheless, most historians discard this match as the first, stating that match was not organised by the AUF but by the Albion F.C.. In fact, the initial line-up featured nine players from Albion and two from Nacional.[http://www.futbolnostalgia.com/amsud1.htm Primer partido de Selecciones] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304081619/http://www.futbolnostalgia.com/amsud1.htm |date=4 March 2016 }} on Fútbol Nostalgia{{cite web |url=http://www.deportesenuruguay.eluruguayo.com/Futbol-Uruguayo01.htm |title="Historia del Fútbol Uruguayo" at Deportes en Uruguay |publisher=Deportesenuruguay.eluruguayo.com |access-date=23 June 2014 |archive-date=4 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211004173847/http://www.deportesenuruguay.eluruguayo.com/Futbol-Uruguayo01.htm |url-status=live}}{{cite web |url=http://www.iffhs.de/?f00b90b003e0f443e0f952bda55405fdcdc3bfcdc0aec70aeeda083c0a |title="Reasons for excluding or including full "A" internationals (1901–1910) at IFFHS |publisher=Iffhs.de |access-date=23 June 2014 |archive-date=8 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130508163626/http://www.iffhs.de/?f00b90b003e0f443e0f952bda55405fdcdc3bfcdc0aec70aeeda083c0a |url-status=live}}|group=note|name=albion}} the first international for both sides, held in Montevideo, with Argentina winning 6–0.[https://www.clarin.com/deportes/argentina-uruguay-clasico-partidos-internacionales-mundo_0_MRvzzcUG.html Argentina-Uruguay: el clásico con más partidos del mundo] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210511071907/https://www.clarin.com/deportes/argentina-uruguay-clasico-partidos-internacionales-mundo_0_MRvzzcUG.html |date=11 May 2021 }} by Oscar Barnade on Clarín, 18 November 2019 During the first years of its existence, Argentina only played friendly matches against other South American teams. The reasons for this varied, including long travel times between countries and the interruption due to World War I.[https://web.archive.org/web/20150204014437/http://www.afa.org.ar/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7857%3Aseleccion-nacional-los-comienzos&catid=181%3Aseleccion-nacional&Itemid=226 Los comienzos (1901–1930)], AFA website (Archived, 4 February 2015)

La Albiceleste has appeared in FIFA World Cup finals six times, including the first ever final on 30 July 1930, which they lost 4–2 to Uruguay. Argentina won their next final on 25 June 1978, beating the Netherlands 3–1. Eight years later, in 1986, Argentina led by Diego Maradona won their second title with a 3–2 victory over West Germany. Four years later, in 1990, Maradona led Argentina to the final, but lost 1–0 to West Germany, by a much-disputed penalty. With Lionel Messi as captain, Argentina reached the final in 2014, where they were beaten 1–0 by Germany in extra time. Argentina would eventually win their third FIFA World Cup in 2022 by defeating France on penalties, after a 3–3 draw after extra time.{{Cite news |last1=Ogden |first1=Mark |date=18 December 2022 |title=All-time classic World Cup final crowns Messi's glorious career |url=https://www.espn.in/football/fifa-world-cup/story/4834108/classic-world-cup-final-crowns-messis-glorious-career |access-date=18 December 2022 |publisher=ESPN |language=en |archive-date=18 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221218200204/https://www.espn.in/football/fifa-world-cup/story/4834108/classic-world-cup-final-crowns-messis-glorious-career |url-status=live}} The team's World Cup{{Endash}}winning managers are César Luis Menotti in 1978, Carlos Bilardo in 1986 and Lionel Scaloni in 2022.

Argentina has also been very successful in the South American Football Championship, the Copa América, winning it 16 times; they were crowned champions most recently in 2024. The team also won the inaugural FIFA Confederations Cup in 1992 and the CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions in 1993 and 2022.

Furthermore, Estadio Sportivo Barracas is also considered a memorable venue for Argentina; the stadium was commonly used by Argentina from 1920 to 1932. Playing at the stadium for La Albiceleste on 2 October 1924, forward Cesáreo Onzari scored directly from a corner kick, the first such incident in football, when Argentina beat Uruguay 2–1; such goals are now often referred as Olympic goals due to the fact that Uruguay had just won the 1924 Olympic title.{{cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/news/y=2011/m=11/news=getting-grips-with-the-gol-olimpico-1537608.html |title=Getting to grips with the 'gol olímpico'|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150813034801/https://www.fifa.com/news/y=2011/m=11/news=getting-grips-with-the-gol-olimpico-1537608.html |archive-date=13 August 2015 |date=2 January 2015 |work=Off the ball |publisher=FIFA|access-date=16 August 2017}}{{cite web |url=http://www.clarin.com/deportes/fundador-gol-olimpico_0_1066093752.html |title=El gol olímpico cumple 80 |last=Barnade |first=Oscar |date=October 2004 |work=Clarín |language=es |access-date=17 November 2009 |archive-date=15 January 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140115134751/http://www.clarin.com/deportes/fundador-gol-olimpico_0_1066093752.html |url-status=live}}{{cite web |last=Freddi |first=Cris |date=March 2003 |title=Gol olimpico |url=http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/2569/29/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091124113814/http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/2569/29 |archive-date=24 November 2009 |access-date=17 November 2009 |work=When Saturday Comes}} Sportivo Barracas was later demolished after 1936.{{Cite web |url=https://sportivobarracas.com.ar/article/estadio/17/ |title=Estadio |publisher=Sportivo Barracas |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170919185247/https://sportivobarracas.com.ar/article/estadio/17/ |archive-date=19 September 2017 |url-status=dead |access-date=25 December 2022}}

Argentina has also sported other kits; on 3 June 1919 in Rio de Janeiro, playing against Brazil, Argentina wore a light blue kit, similar to that of Uruguay, out of respect for Roberto Chery, a substitute goalkeeper for Uruguay, who had collapsed and died during a match against Chile at the 1919 South American Championship;{{cite web |author=Federico Mauccione Pérez |url=http://gloriosomirasolfm.blogspot.com.ar/2007/10/el-3-de-junio-de-1919-la-seleccin-de.html |title=El 3 de Julio de 1919, la Selección de Brasil vistió la camiseta de Peñarol |website=GloriosoMirasol.com |date=26 February 2004 |access-date=23 June 2014 |archive-date=19 July 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140719083613/http://gloriosomirasolfm.blogspot.com.ar/2007/10/el-3-de-junio-de-1919-la-seleccin-de.html |url-status=live}}{{cite web |url=http://www.iffhs.de/?29dad5a85ad4a85b97291ad4e85fdcdc3bfcdc0aec70aeeda0a305 |title=Copa Roberto Chery, Brasil 3 – Argentina 3 |work=IFFHS |access-date=7 November 2017 |archive-date=28 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170828144454/http://iffhs.de/?29dad5a85ad4a85b97291ad4e85fdcdc3bfcdc0aec70aeeda0a305 |url-status=live}} the match between Argentina and Brazil was organised by the Brazilian Football Confederation for the benefit of Chery's relatives.

At the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, the then manager, Carlos Bilardo, asked the team's kit supplier, Le Coq Sportif, for lighter blue shirts for their quarter-final against England in three days, but they could not be provided.

Argentina has used the logo of the Argentine Football Association as its emblem since it was first worn at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden; the logo was added to the team's jackets, but not the shirts. The emblem was not used on jerseys until 16 November 1976, when Argentina played the Soviet Union at Estadio Monumental. At the beginning, the crest used did not include a laurel wreath,[https://www.clarin.com/sociedad/escudo-camiseta-seleccion-argentina-cumple-41-anos_0_S1aTRQc1f.html El escudo de la camiseta de la Selección argentina cumple 41 años] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190904094539/https://www.clarin.com/sociedad/escudo-camiseta-seleccion-argentina-cumple-41-anos_0_S1aTRQc1f.html |date=4 September 2019 }} by Daniela Aguinsky, Clarín, 16 November 2017 which was first added for the 1982 World Cup.

{{Main|Argentina–England football rivalry}}

With a rivalry stemming from the 1966 World Cup and intensified by the Falklands War of 1982, Argentina and England have had numerous confrontations in World Cup tournaments. Among them was the quarter-final match in 1986, where Diego Maradona scored two goals against England. The first was a handball, but was ruled legal by the referee. The second, scored minutes later, saw Maradona passing five England outfield players before scoring, and is often described as one of, if not the greatest goal in football history.

The nations were paired together in the round of 16 at the 1998 World Cup, won by Argentina on penalties, and again at the group stage in 2002, with England winning 1–0 through a penalty by David Beckham who had been sent off in the tie four years earlier.

Argentina has played Germany in seven FIFA World Cup matches including three World Cup finals. In 1986 Argentina won 3–2, but in 1990 and 2014 it was the Germans who were the victors by a 1–0 scoreline both times.

In 1958 they met for the first time in the group stage, where Argentina suffered a 1–3 loss to defending champions West Germany.{{Cite web |url=http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/round=220/match=1323/live-blog.html |title=1958 FIFA World Cup Sweden ™ – Matches |publisher=FIFA |language=en|access-date=22 May 2019}}{{dead link|date=October 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} In 1966 both again faced each other in the group stage which ended in a scoreless draw.{{Cite web |url=http://www.thesoccerworldcups.com/head_to_head/argentina_vs_germany.php |title=Argentina vs. Germany Head-to-Head in the World Cups |website=thesoccerworldcups.com|access-date=22 May 2019|archive-date=20 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190520204944/http://www.thesoccerworldcups.com/head_to_head/argentina_vs_germany.php|url-status=live}} In 2006, they met in the quarter-finals; Argentina lost on penalties after a 1–1 draw, which was followed by a brawl on the pitch involving several players.[https://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/jul/01/worldcup2006.sport9 Argentina crash out in mass brawl] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180617015538/https://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/jul/01/worldcup2006.sport9 |date=17 June 2018 }}, Michael Walker, The Guardian, 30 June 2006[http://edition.cnn.com/2006/SPORT/football/07/01/worldcup.brawl/ FIFA investigating Argentina brawl] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221116161849/http://edition.cnn.com/2006/SPORT/football/07/01/worldcup.brawl/ |date=16 November 2022 }}, CNN, 1 July 2006 They met again at the same stage in 2010, this time ending with a 4–0 victory for Germany.

{{Main|Argentina–Uruguay football rivalry}}

Argentina has a long-standing rivalry with its neighbour, that came into existence from the early South American Championships, the 1928 Summer Olympics and the first World Cup final, held in 1930.

Argentina and Uruguay hold the record for most international matches played between two countries. The two teams have faced each other 197 times since 1902. The first match between Argentina and Uruguay was also the first official international match to be played outside the United Kingdom.{{refn|group="note"|Although Canada and the United States played two internationals in 1885 and 1886, neither match is considered official; Canada did not play an official international until 1904{{citation needed|date=January 2023}} and the United States did not play one until 1916.{{cite web |url=https://www.ussoccer.com/history/timeline |title=USMNT Timeline |publisher=United States Soccer Federation |access-date=3 February 2022 |quote=1916: The first USFA Men's National Team traveled to Norway and Sweden.

{{Main|Argentina–Mexico football rivalry}}

Argentina has a minor rivalry with Mexico, which developed in the 1990s. The rivalry is considered one-sided as Argentines do not consider Mexico as rivals. Although the first official match between both nations came in the 1930 World Cup where Argentina beat Mexico 6–3 in the group stage, the rivalry emerged during the late twentieth century, especially after the 1993 Copa América final, where Argentina beat Mexico 2–1.{{Cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2010/jun/26/world-cup-2010-mexico-argentina |title=Mexico's great love-hate relationship with Argentina |newspaper=The Guardian |date=26 June 2010 |publisher=theguardian.com |last1=Dávila |first1=Marco |access-date=31 December 2022 |archive-date=31 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221231195250/https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2010/jun/26/world-cup-2010-mexico-argentina |url-status=live}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.record.com.mx/columnistas-felipe-morales/el-origen-de-la-rivalidad-entre-mexico-y-argentina |title=El origen de la rivalidad entre México y Argentina |date=19 November 2018 |publisher=record.com.mx|access-date=31 December 2022|archive-date=31 December 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221231195250/https://www.record.com.mx/columnistas-felipe-morales/el-origen-de-la-rivalidad-entre-mexico-y-argentina|url-status=live}}[https://www.rsssf.org/tables/93safull.html Copa América 1993 final] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090321081724/http://rsssf.com/tables/93safull.html |date=21 March 2009 }} on the RSSSF That was the first time a non-CONMEBOL nation played in a Copa América final, and the first final played between both sides.[https://elpais.com/deportes/2019/06/13/actualidad/1560436953_023515.html México alimenta la Copa América] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221224183635/https://elpais.com/deportes/2019/06/13/actualidad/1560436953_023515.html |date=24 December 2022 }} by Diego Mancera on El País, 15 June 2019

The rivalry has continued in club competitions, where Argentina and Mexico first met in 1968 Copa Interamericana. The rivalry between both nations at club level increased during the late 1990s, when Mexican clubs were invited to participate in the Copa Libertadores, where they played memorable matches against Boca Juniors.[https://www.tycsports.com/boca-juniors/boca-copa-libertadores-2001-cruz-azul-bombonera-bicampeon-21-anos-campeon-id445723.html A 21 años de la Copa Libertadores 2001 ganada por Boca] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221225070502/https://www.tycsports.com/boca-juniors/boca-copa-libertadores-2001-cruz-azul-bombonera-bicampeon-21-anos-campeon-id445723.html |date=25 December 2022 }} on TyC, 28 June 2002

This sense of rivalry is more keenly felt by Mexican supporters and media, since Argentines do not consider Mexico rivals like Brazil, Germany, Uruguay or England.

A recurrent rivalry developed from the 1990s between Argentina and Nigeria, based not on geographical proximity, long-term battles for honours or factors outside football, but due to the frequency of significant matches between them.{{Cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/nigeria-argentina-a-rivalry-that-keeps-on-runnng-2384741| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180616030519/https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/nigeria-argentina-a-rivalry-that-keeps-on-runnng-2384741| url-status = dead| archive-date = 16 June 2018 |title=Nigeria-Argentina: A rivalry that keeps on running |publisher=FIFA |date=25 June 2014 | access-date = 28 June 2018}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/2018/6/26/17507812/nigeria-argentinia-world-cup-rivalry |title=Nigeria always loses to Argentina and I'm sick of it |publisher=SB Nation |date=26 June 2018 | access-date = 28 June 2018 | archive-date = 28 June 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180628125120/https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/2018/6/26/17507812/nigeria-argentinia-world-cup-rivalry | url-status = live}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.eluniverso.com/deportes/2017/12/01/nota/6506806/argentina-vs-nigeria-clasico-mundiales-cuenta-pendiente-africanos |title=Argentina vs. Nigeria, un clásico en los Mundiales con cuenta pendiente para los africanos| trans-title = Argentina vs. Nigeria, a classic in the World Cup with the Africans still to open their account |publisher=El Universo |language=es |date=1 December 2017| access-date = 29 June 2018| archive-date = 30 June 2018| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180630013433/https://www.eluniverso.com/deportes/2017/12/01/nota/6506806/argentina-vs-nigeria-clasico-mundiales-cuenta-pendiente-africanos| url-status = live}}{{Cite web |url=http://segundoenfoque.com/desde-hace-cuanto-viene-la-rivalidad-entre-argentina-y-nigeria-2018-06-27 |title=¿Desde hace cuánto viene la rivalidad entre Argentina y Nigeria?| trans-title = How long has there been a rivalry between Argentina and Nigeria? |publisher=Segundo Enfoque |language=es |date=27 June 2018| access-date = 29 June 2018| archive-date = 29 June 2018| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180629235711/http://segundoenfoque.com/desde-hace-cuanto-viene-la-rivalidad-entre-argentina-y-nigeria-2018-06-27| url-status = live}}{{Cite web |url=http://www.diariopublicable.com/futbol/2521-nigeria--un-viejo-conocido-de-argentina.html |title=Nigeria, un viejo conocido de Argentina| trans-title = Nigeria, an old acquaintance of Argentina |publisher=Diario Publicable |language=es |date=23 June 2014| access-date = 29 June 2018| archive-date = 29 June 2018| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180629214457/http://www.diariopublicable.com/futbol/2521-nigeria--un-viejo-conocido-de-argentina.html| url-status = live}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.guioteca.com/futbol-argentino/argentina-vs-nigeria-el-historial-le-da-esperanzas-a-los-hinchas-albicelestes/ |title=Argentina vs. Nigeria: El historial le da esperanzas a los hinchas "albicelestes"| trans-title = Argentina vs. Nigeria: History gives hope to "albiceleste" fans |publisher=Guioteca |language=es |date=26 June 2018| access-date = 29 June 2018| archive-date = 29 June 2018| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180629235723/https://www.guioteca.com/futbol-argentino/argentina-vs-nigeria-el-historial-le-da-esperanzas-a-los-hinchas-albicelestes/| url-status = live}} This has included five World Cup group matches, all won by Argentina by a single goal margin: 2–1 in 1994, 1–0 in 2002, 1–0 in 2010, 3–2 in 2014 and 2–1 in 2018.
