Argentina women's national football team

Common card · No. 317359

The Argentina women's national football team represents Argentina in international women's football. Like their men's counterpart, the women's team has been known or nicknamed "La Albiceleste" (The White and Sky Blue). Women's football in Argentina remains largely in the shadow of the men's game in terms of play development and fan support; in women's sports in Argentina, field hockey and volleyball are also more popular. Almost all its members were amateur players until 1991, when the Campeonato de Fútbol Femenino was founded to increase football popularity among women in Argentina. The Argentina–Brazil football rivalry in women's football cannot be compared to that of men, given the big differences between both countries; Brazil has the clear advantage in matches between them, and has been hosting a competitive professional women's league for many years, while Argentina only introduced it in 2019.
