Argentina’s WAGs: These are the wives and girlfriends of the Argentinian national team at the 2026 World Cup

As any discerning soccer fan will tell you, what is a World Cup without WAGs?

The trend, or dare we say, cultural phenomenon of footballers bringing their glamorous partners along to major tournaments started at Germany 2006, when several members of the England squad brought along their A-list wives. Victoria Beckham, Coleen Rooney, Cheryl Cole, Abbey Clancy were the original WAGs (wives and girlfriends), whose photographs appeared on the front pages of the tabloid press while their husbands’ on-field exploits graced the back pages.

With the rise of social media, the WAGs have more exposure than ever. Some of the more high-profile WAGs have racked up millions of followers on their personal Instagram accounts.

Look no further than Antonela Roccuzzo. Lionel Messi’s wife has amassed close to 40 million followers on Instagram and is the most recognizable face among the expedition of wives and girlfriends of Argentina’s players who will be cheering on the team at the World Cup.

Messi and Antonela were childhood sweethearts in Rosario. They married in 2017 and have three children: Thiago, Mateo and Ciro.
