Argentina confirm shirt numbers for World Cup 2026: who wears what | OneFootball

The Argentina National Team now has everything ready for the 2026 World Cup and revealed the official squad numbers for the 26 players who will make up the team looking to defend the title in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

As football’s biggest event draws closer, excitement is growing by leaps and bounds. In recent hours, the shirt numbers that the 26 players called up to represent the Argentina National Team at the 2026 World Cup were officially confirmed, where the team will look to defend its FIFA title.

Leandro Paredes will wear number 5 again.

Among the assignments that drew the most attention from fans was that of one of the leaders of Argentina’s midfield. The No. 5 remains untouched: Leandro Paredes, now a Boca player, will once again wear the number he proudly sported during the unforgettable Qatar 2022 campaign, when La Albiceleste were crowned world champions.

The holding midfielder will thus keep the number that accompanied him to the greatest achievement of his career, bringing experience to the team. Alongside captain Lionel Messi’s ever-present No. 10 and Emiliano Dibu Martínez’s already iconic No. 23, the squad list presents a perfect mix of established champions and new faces set to make their World Cup debut, such as Valentín Barco, Nicolás Paz, and José López.

The 2026 World Cup, to be played in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, kicks off on June 11.
