Otamendi Expected in Argentina’s 2026 World Cup Squad

Nicolás Otamendi is widely expected to be included in Argentina’s official squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the veteran center back continuing to hold a place among the country’s most experienced defenders. The 37-year-old has remained a regular presence in the national setup and is likely to be valued for his leadership, aerial strength, and experience on the biggest stage.

Argentina’s final squad announcement will confirm whether Otamendi is among the players chosen for the tournament in North America. If selected, he would add another chapter to a long international career that has already included major tournament appearances and a central role in Argentina’s recent success.
