Montiel Set for Argentina’s 2026 World Cup Squad

Gonzalo Montiel is expected to be included in Argentina’s official squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, reinforcing his status as a trusted option for the reigning world champions. The final roster is due to be confirmed ahead of FIFA’s squad deadline, with Montiel widely anticipated to retain his place in Lionel Scaloni’s plans.

The defender, best remembered for scoring the decisive penalty in Argentina’s 2022 World Cup final victory over France, remains a valued member of the national team setup. His experience, versatility and familiarity with Argentina’s tactical structure are expected to weigh heavily in his favor as the coaching staff finalizes the squad for the tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
