The Albiceleste stands among football’s most decorated national teams, a status earned in large part by its repeated success on the continental stage.
The Argentina national team is one of the two sides with the most Copa América titles, yet there was a lengthy drought: it took 28 years to reclaim the trophy, a triumph sealed on July 10 at Maracanã when Argentina defeated Brazil to end the wait. Beginning June 20, 2024, the defense of their crown takes place in the United States, where Argentina will aim to surpass Uruguay as the most successful nation in the competition. This edition features six guests from CONCACAF, adding to the dynamic mix of teams in the field.
Argentina’s journey in the group stage of the 2024 Copa América
HOW MANY TIMES HAS ARGENTINA WON THE COPA AMÉRICA?
Argentina has lifted the Copa América title fifteen times, with multiple periods of back-to-back championships. The country secured consecutive titles in 1927 and 1929, again in 1955 and 1957, and later in 1991 and 1993. They have also claimed top honors in 1945, 1946, and 1947. In addition to those triumphs, Argentina has finished as runner-up on fourteen occasions. The long-awaited 2021 title had a special significance, marking a return to the pinnacle after a stretch without the trophy. Prior to that victory, the team had reached finals in several editions, including the 2004, 2007, 2015, and 2016 finals. Notably, the 2011 final was hosted on Argentinian soil, adding extra significance to that match for fans back home. Goal reports that this record of achievement places Argentina among the most successful national teams in the history of the competition, underscoring the country’s enduring prestige in South American football.
