About Argentina

A nation renowned for producing skilful footballers and passionate supporters, Argentina first came to prominence as a world force in the 1970s, and thanks to the goals of Mario Kempes won the World Cup at home in 1978, defeating a strong Dutch side in Buenos Aires in the final. A second World Cup followed in 1986, led by the mercurial genius of Diego Maradona. The No. 10 developed into the best player in the world during this period, and took a below average side to the final in 1990, only to lose to West Germany. Since then Argentine football has been blessed with a succession of superstars but further success has not been forthcoming; the likes of Gabriel Batistuta, Hernan Crespo and Diego Simeone enjoyed victories at club level but underachieved on the world stage. Recently, the incomparable Lionel Messi has led the side but a third title remains elusive, most notably losing to Germany in 2014. The domestic league in Argentina has two huge clubs in the form or Boca Juniors and River Plate and is one of the oldest competitions in the world, formed in 1891.
