A big happy new year to the entire Mundo Albiceleste family and remember, we are world champions!

The year 2022 was a special one for all fans of the Argentina national team. It started off strongly with a win in the World Cup qualifiers and the team added a second trophy to their collection, the Finalissima.

After that came the big tournament that we have all been waiting for, the World Cup. And despite not a great start, it ended in Argentina getting the third star on their shirt.

At youth level, it was a year of revelations. Javier Mascherano’s team took part in the Toulon tournament and won the COTIF tournament in August. A year of many trophies for all of Argentina.

On a personal note, I would like to wish everyone a great 2023. One which brings you great health and to be surrounded by your loved ones. Thank you for continuing to make this community, this Mundo family the best around.

We are working on implementing many things with a potential growth in staff. I am cleaning up much of the spam comments and accounts, which is proving to take a bit of time. Once that is settled, many eagerly awaited features will be added to the site.

Thank you everyone for what was a truly great 2022 and here is to a somehow even better new year!

His legendary status would reach new heights as he would go on to coach Argentina to the World Cup. According to Doble Amarilla, a verbal agreement has apparently been reached between Scaloni and the AFA, keeping him on until the 2026 World Cup.

The Argentina national team coaching staff would also receive a substantial raise.
