FIFA World Cup: India goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu has backed defending champions Argentina as one of the leading contenders to retain the FIFA World Cup title in 2026 while expressing hope that an Asian nation can make a deep run in the tournament.

La Albiceleste are making their overall 19th and 14th consecutive FIFA World Cup appearance in a row, having won the cup in 1978, 1986, and 2022.

Speaking about the ongoing World Cup, Gurpreet said Argentina’s recent success and strong team culture make them one of the favourites despite the competition still being some distance away.
