Argentina vs Algeria: Full list of substitutes for FIFA World Cup 2026 clash

These nations are going to meet on the world stage for the very first time.

Looking to retain their crown, the Argentina national football team will now have a face-off against the Algeria national football team for their opening game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. These nations will be battling it out at the Kansas City Stadium.

Lionel Messi and company have been on a sensational run of form ahead of the mega competition. They have only conceded one goal in their last five games and will be looking to keep it that way. The Lionel Scaloni-led side will be eager for a positive start to their campaign. They will need to maintain calm and composure on the field so that they can have the desired result.

The Algeria national football team will be eager to come up with a strong fight against the reigning world champions. They will have to keep their defence strong and must avoid giving chances to Lionel Messi and company, who are not going to mess around with their chances. Vladimir Petković’s men must also keep control of the ball, which can become one of their advantages on the world stage.
