Trophies won by Argentina in International Football (Men's)

Argentina are the most decorated football-playing nation in the world. They have won every possible trophy and with Lionel Messi leading the side to their third World Cup title in 2022, they are the best team on the planet earth right now. Argentina is administered by the governing body for football in Argentina, the Argentine Football Association.

The team's World Cup–winning managers are César Luis Menotti in 1978, Carlos Bilardo in 1986, and Lionel Scaloni in 2022. Several greats have played for La Albiceleste and won trophies. They were going through a tough phase as they hadn't won a major trophy since 1993. Argentina did win two back-to-back golds in the Olympics in 2004 and 2008 but they felt many heartbreaks in the Copa America and World Cup.

They ended the drought in 2021 after winning the Copa America for the record 15th time under Scaloni. Since then, Argentina have won the Finalissima and the World Cup.
