   ARGENTINA  
     
     
 

The Argentina national football team (Spanish: Selección de Fútbol de Argentina) represents Argentina in international football and is controlled by the Argentina Football Association (Spanish: Asociación del Fútbol Argentino, AFA), the governing body for football in Argentina.

The AFA was founded in 1893, became a member of FIFA in 1912, and a member of CONMEBOL in 1916. The first champion of the amateur era was Alumni and the runner-up was Quilmes. This amateur league ran from 1893-1931. The professional league was inaugurated in 1932. The first champion of the professional era was River Plate, and the runner-up was Estudiantes de la Plata.

Argentina is undoubtedly one of the most successful teams in the world. Argentines have won two World Cup titles (1978, 1986), two Olympic Tournaments (2004, 2008), one Confederation Cup (1992), and the Copa America a record 14 times. Argentina has also been recognized for the quality of its players, including Alfredo Di Stefano, Diego Maradona, and Lionel Messi who made all the difference in the teams they represented.
