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

The Argentina National Team already has everything ready for the 2026 World Cup and announced the official squad numbers for the 26 players who make up the team that will look 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 will be worn by 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 in Argentina’s midfield. Number 5 stays put: Leandro Paredes, now a Boca player, will once again wear the number he proudly sported during the unforgettable Qatar 2022 campaign, where La Albiceleste were crowned world champions.

The defensive midfielder will therefore keep the number that accompanied him during the greatest achievement of his career, bringing experience to the team. Alongside captain Lionel Messi’s ever-present number 10 and Emiliano Dibu Martínez’s already iconic 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.
