Argentina head coach, Lionel Scaloni, has named ten favourite countries that can win the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Argentina is the reigning world champions and will begin their title defence on June 16.
However, Scaloni believes his team, alongside the likes of Spain, France, England, Brazil, Portugal, Uruguay, and Colombia, Croatia and Morocco, are favourites to win the competition.
Speaking during an interview with Diario Ole (via MARCA), Scaloni stated:
“10? I don’t know if I fell short. Yes, because in a World Cup, of course, Argentina is going to be there.
“I don’t know if they are going to win, but those ten or twelve are going to fight and try to reach the final.
“Spain, France, Portugal, England, Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay, Argentina, Morocco… I don’t even know how many I named, I’m already forgetting one, Croatia,” he said.
