Argentina U23 have fielded a national team since 1893, playing in World Cup qualifying and their confederation’s tournaments.
Overview
The Argentina under-23 national football team represents Argentina in international competitions restricted to players aged 23 and under, most notably the Pan American Games and the qualifying rounds for the Olympic football tournament. The team is administered by the Argentine Football Association, which was founded in 1893 and is one of the oldest football governing bodies in South America. Argentina has a long tradition of competitive youth football, and the under-23 side has historically served as a development pathway for players who later represent the senior national team.
Players currently associated with the squad include goalkeepers Leandro Brey and Gerónimo Rulli, defenders Bruno Amione and Marco Di Cesare, and midfielders Julián García and Gonzalo Luján. The under-23 team does not hold a record of major senior international titles. Its primary function remains the preparation of young players for higher levels of competition, including the full senior squad.
