Romero Set for Argentina’s 2026 World Cup Squad

Cristian Romero is set to be named in Argentina’s official squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, reinforcing his status as one of the national team’s leading defensive figures. The final list is expected to be confirmed ahead of FIFA’s squad deadline in early June 2026.

Romero has been a central part of Argentina’s back line in recent major tournaments, known for his aggressive defending, aerial strength and leadership. His inclusion would give Argentina continuity in defense as the reigning world champions prepare for their title defense in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
