La Argentina booked their place in the 2026 World Cup semifinals last weekend, setting up a high-stakes clash with England at Atlanta Stadium on Wednesday. Last result: Angola 0-2 Argentina (2025-11-14). How many official trophies does Argentina’s national team have? The answer is 22 — a haul that cements their status as one of world football’s true powerhouses.

What trophies has Argentina won?

Argentina’s trophy cabinet is stacked. They’ve lifted the FIFA World Cup three times — in 1978, 1986, and 2022 — with legends like Mario Kempes, Diego Maradona, and Lionel Messi leading the charge. But their dominance doesn’t stop there. With 16 Copa América titles, they’re the most successful nation in the competition’s history, spanning from 1921 all the way to 2024.

They’ve also claimed one FIFA Confederations Cup (1993) and two CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions (1993 and 2022), reinforcing their South American supremacy and global prestige. From early 20th-century triumphs to the modern era led by Messi, Argentina’s history is one of relentless success.

Why does this trophy haul make them 2026 favorites?

With 19 World Cup appearances — including this one — Argentina aren’t just one of the most experienced teams, they’re among the most successful. As defending champions (2022) and on a recent run of three wins and one draw in their last five matches (WWWLD), they’re squarely among the title contenders.

Lionel Scaloni’s side arrives in the England tie backed by a generation that already proved its class in Qatar. Can Argentina join Italy and Germany as the third-most successful World Cup nation? The path is clear: beat England, then the next opponent, and they’ll be one step from making history.

What’s next for Argentina?

On Wednesday, Argentina face England in a clash of footballing titans. Their most recent win — a 2-0 victory over Angola on November 14, 2025 (goals from Julián Álvarez and Enzo Fernández) — showed defensive solidity and attacking punch. Recent form (last 5): 3W-1D-1L (WWWLD).

If they overcome England, Argentina will push for their fourth World Cup title in a final that could be written in the next two weeks. They’ve already shown in Qatar they know how to handle pressure, and with Messi, Emiliano Martínez, and Alexis Mac Allister firing on all cylinders, the dream of back-to-back titles is very much alive.
