Despite his ups and downs at River, Lionel Scaloni continues to choose to call up Franco Armani. The experience and time spent in the group give him plenty of credit when it comes to tipping the scales over another archer when it comes to making the list.

He was part of the whole process that culminated in him getting the third World Cup star, but he was unable to compete in the World Cup. He was called up in the 2019 and 2021 Copa América, in the South American qualifiers and friendlies, but a broken cheekbone took him out of the one-on-one battle with Rulli as he was the third-choice goalkeeper in Qatar. Now he returns with the mindset to earn his place for the next Copa América 2024.
