The teams
Argentina reach the 2026 World Cup through CONMEBOL and have been drawn into Group J alongside Algeria, Austria and Jordan. Argentina are former world champions, with 3 titles, so they arrive among the favourites rather than the underdogs. Much of the attention will fall on Lionel Messi, the team's marquee name.
Austria reach the 2026 World Cup through UEFA and have been drawn into Group J alongside Argentina, Algeria and Jordan. Austria have yet to win a World Cup, and a strong group stage would already be a notable run.
The venue
The match is played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, a 80,000-capacity venue that FIFA refers to as Dallas Stadium during the tournament. The nearest major airport is Dallas Fort Worth (DFW). FIFA enforces a clear-bag policy at every venue, so plan to travel light and arrive early to get through security.
