A message: Changes to Mundo Albiceleste, reduced ads, new design

1

Hello everyone,

Since the start of the new year, we have been experimenting with different ads and locations across the Mundo Albiceleste website. And if we are being completely honest, it was time for a permanent change.

We have also been hearing and reading all of your feedbacks and are happy to announce what we believe are significant changes. The number of ads on the website have been reduced (we believe significantly) and ultimately, while the ads do help in keeping up with the maintenance of the website, we still want every one to enjoy viewing and reading the content.

Mundo Albiceleste was built by Argentina fans and for Argentina fans, which is why we believe that should remain the priority and will remain the priority.

Should you have any comments or suggestions, please, do let us know in the comments below or email us at mundoalbiceleste10@gmail.com. Our aim is to continue to improve and to provide more content (which we will continue to be doing and will be introducing new sections throughout the year) than we ever have before. And to aim for quality over quantity.

As always, your feedback is strongly appreciated. Mundo Albiceleste has been around since 2006 and we would not be where we are without the Mundo Albiceleste family.

Thank you,

Marcos Senesi called up to replace Leonardo Balerdi in Argentina’s World Cup squad

Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni has called up Marcos Senesi to replace the injured Leonardo Balerdi in Argentina’s squad for the 2026 World Cup.

The 29-year-old defender, who was recently unveiled as a new signing for Tottenham Hotspur, will join Argentina’s training camp in Kansas, United States, in the coming hours as preparations continue for the team’s World Cup opener.

Senesi’s addition provides Argentina with another left-footed central defender ahead of their first match of the tournament. The Albiceleste are set to begin their World Cup campaign on June 16 against Algeria.

Balerdi was ruled out through injury, prompting Scaloni to make the late change to the squad just days before Argentina’s opening fixture.
