El equipo también ganó la Copa FIFA Confederaciones de 1992 y el Trofeo Artemio Franchi de 1993 . Argentina es conocida por tener rivalidades con Brasil , Uruguay , Inglaterra y Alemania debido a sucesos particulares entre ellos a lo largo de la historia del fútbol. [8] [9]
Historia
El primer partido registrado para Argentina fue contra Uruguay , el 20 de junio de 1902 . [nota 2] El juego (que fue el primer partido internacional para ambos lados) se llevó a cabo en Montevideo y Argentina ganó 6-0. [2] [5] Durante los primeros años de su existencia, la selección argentina solo jugó partidos amistosos contra otras selecciones sudamericanas. Las razones de esto variaron, incluidos los largos tiempos de viaje entre países y la interrupción de la Primera Guerra Mundial . [11]
La Selección (equipo nacional), también conocida como Albicelestes (celeste y blancos), ha aparecido en cinco finales de la Copa del Mundo, incluida la primera final en 1930 , que perdió, 4-2, ante Uruguay . Argentina ganó en su próxima final en 1978 , venciendo a Holanda por 3-1. Argentina, dirigida por Diego Maradona volvió a ganar en 1986 , una victoria por 3-2 sobre Alemania Occidental . Argentina llegó por última vez a la final de la Copa del Mundo en 2014 , donde perdió 1-0 ante la selección de fútbol de Alemania . Antes de esto, su última final de la Copa del Mundo fue en 1990 , que también perdió, 1-0, ante Alemania Occidental por un penalti muy disputado. Los entrenadores argentinos ganadores de la Copa del Mundo son César Luis Menotti en 1978 y Carlos Bilardo en 1986.
Argentina ha tenido mucho éxito en la Copa América , ganando 14 veces. El equipo también ganó la Copa FIFA Confederaciones y la Copa Kirin , ambas en 1992, y el Trofeo Artemio Franchi de 1993 . Un equipo de Argentina (con sólo tres jugadores de más de 23 años incluidos en la plantilla) ganó los torneos de fútbol de los Juegos Olímpicos de Atenas 2004 y Pekín 2008 . [12]
Argentina también ganó siete de las 18 competiciones de fútbol en los Juegos Panamericanos , ganando en 1951 , 1955 , 1959 , 1971 , 1995 , 2003 y 2019 .

Imagen del equipo
Uniforme
La primera equipación que usó Argentina en su debut oficial contra Uruguay en 1902 fue una camiseta celeste. [14] [15] En agosto de 1908, Argentina debutó con la franja vertical celeste en la camiseta blanca. [16] Ese kit se convertiría en el kit oficial. Los kits de visitante generalmente han sido en tonos azul oscuro, variando los colores de los pantalones cortos y las medias.
Argentina ha lucido otras equipaciones hasta que se hizo oficial la franja azul sobre la equipación blanca. El 3 de junio de 1919 en Río de Janeiro, jugando la "Copa Roberto Chery" contra Brasil , Argentina vistió una camiseta celeste, similar a la de Uruguay . [17] El trofeo fue establecido por la Confederación Brasileña de Fútbol en beneficio de los familiares de Roberto Chery. Chery fue la guardameta suplente de Uruguay y murió durante el Campeonato Sudamericano de 1919 luego de colapsar en un partido contra Chile. [18]
En la Copa del Mundo de 1958 , Argentina vistió la camiseta amarilla del club sueco IFK Malmö en el partido contra Alemania Occidental , ya que el equipo llegó a Suecia sin un uniforme de visitante.
Un cambio de camiseta de último momento en la Copa del Mundo de 1986 en México es memorable. Luego, el entrenador Carlos Bilardo le pidió al proveedor de uniformes del equipo Le Coq Sportif una camiseta azul más clara para los cuartos de final en tres días contra Inglaterra , que no pudo ser proporcionada. Un miembro del cuerpo técnico recorre las tiendas de la Ciudad de México en busca de 38 camisas lisas. Fueron transformados con una versión improvisada del emblema de la AFA bordado en las camisetas, [19] y números plateados de fútbol americano planchados en la espalda. [20] Argentina venció a Inglaterra con el "gol del siglo" de Diego Maradona . [21] [22] El estilo de la camisa se convirtió en un emblema de la ocasión y en una pieza de colección. [23]
En la Copa del Mundo de Rusia 2018 , Argentina debutó con un uniforme negro de visitante, el primero en su historia. [24]

Cresta
El logo de la Asociación Argentina de Fútbol ("AFA") siempre se ha utilizado como emblema del equipo. Debutó en el Mundial de 1958 celebrado en Suecia , cuando Argentina añadió el logo de la AFA a sus chaquetas, pero no a las camisetas. [19]
Sin embargo, el emblema de la AFA no se usó en las camisetas hasta el 16 de noviembre de 1976, cuando Argentina jugó contra la Unión Soviética en el Estadio Monumental . El primer emblema fue una versión simplificada del escudo (sin la corona de laurel , [31] que se agregó para la Copa del Mundo de 1982 ). [19]
En 2004, las dos estrellas añadidas sobre el escudo simbolizaron los campeonatos mundiales de selecciones nacionales de la FIFA de 1978 y 1986. [31]

Rivalidades
Brazil
Argentina have a long and fierce rivalry with their South American neighbours.[54]
England
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 the greatest goals in football history.
The nations were paired together in the Round of 16 at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, won by Argentina on penalties, and again at the group stage in 2002, England winning 1–0 through a penalty by David Beckham who had been sent off in the tie four years earlier.
Germany
Argentina have played Germany in seven FIFA World Cup matches including three FIFA World Cup finals: In 1986 Argentina won 3–2, but in 1990 it was the Germans who were the victors by a 1–0 scoreline.
In 1958 they met for the first time in the group stage, where Argentina suffered a 1–3 loss to defending champions West Germany.[55] In 1966 both again faced each other in the group stage which ended in a scoreless draw.[56] 2006 they met in the quarter-finals; Argentina lost on penalties after a 1–1 draw. They met again at the same stage in 2010, this time ending with a 4–0 victory for Germany. They played each other for the third consecutive World Cup in the Brazil 2014 event's final, where Argentina were defeated in extra time by a score of 1–0.
Uruguay
Argentina have a long-standing rivalry with their neighbors, 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.[2] 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.[note 4]
Nigeria
A minor 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.[57][58][59][60][61][62] This has included five World Cup group games, 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. The fixture is the most common in the competition's history involving an African nation,[63] and has occurred in five of the six tournaments for which Nigeria has qualified. The sides also met in the 1995 King Fahd Cup (the predecessor to the Confederations Cup) as champions of their respective continents, drawing 0–0.
Below full international level, their Olympic teams also faced off in the gold medal match in 1996 (3–2 to Nigeria), and 2008 (1–0 to Argentina). The final of the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship was also played between them; both Argentina goals in their 2–1 win were scored by Lionel Messi, who would go on to find the net for the senior team in the 2014[64] and 2018[65] World Cup fixtures. On 6 September 2011, Bangabandhu National Stadium hosted an international friendly football match between the full-strength Argentina and Nigeria teams, featuring Lionel Messi, Sergio Agüero, Javier Mascherano and John Obi Mikel among the other star players of both nations. Argentina won 3–1 with goals from then-Real Madrid teammates Gonzalo Higuaín and Ángel Di María, and an own goal from Nigeria's Elderson Echiéjilé with Chinedu Obasi scoring Nigeria's lone goal.
The sense of rivalry is more keenly felt on the Nigerian side, as Argentina have won almost all of their encounters and have more important traditional opponents to concentrate on, in contrast to the West Africans who remain keen to finally overcome a more illustrious foe.[58]

Notes
- ^ From 1996 on, medals won by Argentina were with the U-23 team, not the senior squad, as ruled by the IOC.
- ^ There is a precedent of a match played between an Argentine representative v 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 lineup featured nine players from Albion and two from Nacional.[4][10][3]
- ^ A match against England on 17 May 1953 was abandoned, and the result declared void, hence the number of matches played is greater than the total of wins/draws/losses.
- ^ 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 and the USA did not play one until 1916.[citation needed]

- ^ a b Organised by Brazilian and Argentine Associations
- ^ Organised by the Brazilian Confederation
- ^ Organised by Japanese Kirin Company
