Official: Leandro Paredes called up for the 2026 World Cup | OneFootball

Leandro Paredes is officially one of the players called up to compete in the 2026 World Cup. The Argentina national team coaching staff confirmed the final list of players who will represent the country at football’s biggest event. With Lionel Messi leading the way and a strong presence of players with Xeneize DNA, La Albiceleste already has its warriors ready to chase glory.

The wait is over and the mystery has been revealed. The Argentina national team has now finalized the players who will wear the national shirt at the 2026 World Cup. Among the big surprises and certainties on the list, the official call-up of Leandro Paredes stands out, as he will play in the World Cup as a Club Atlético Boca Juniors player.

Leandro Paredes plays his final match with Boca against Católica and then joins the national team.

The midfielder, a key figure in the national team setup in recent years, confirms that he is still going strong after his return to Argentine football and secures his place in La Albiceleste. His call-up is not an isolated case for the team from La Ribera: the World Cup squad has a strong Boca flavor.

In addition to Paredes, the call-up includes several footballers developed by or formerly part of the Xeneize institution, forming a legion that fills the “half plus one” with pride. Among them are defender Leonardo Balerdi, full-back Nahuel Molina, wing-back Valentín Barco, and all-around midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.
