The 2026 FIFA World Cup has sparked interest over whether Argentina and Portugal could meet during the tournament. Both sides have a path to face each other if they finish first in their groups and win their next two knockout matches. Argentina is drawn in Group J with Algeria, Austria and Jordan. Portugal is in Group K alongside DR Congo, Uzbekistan and Congo. Such a meeting would mark a sixth World Cup for leading players on each team. Argentina opens against Algeria on June 16 while Portugal plays DR Congo on June 17. Supporters hope both teams advance far enough for the matchup to occur.
