Argentina's ambassador to India, Mariano Caucino, has thanked Indian football fans for backing the team during the FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign. His message came after Argentina ended the tournament as runners-up, with support from fans in India remaining strong through the final.
Argentina, the defending champions, fell short in the title match against Spain. The final was decided 1-0 after extra time, as Spain edged a tightly contested game to lift the trophy.
The decisive moment came through Ferran Torres, who scored the goal that separated the two sides. The result ended Argentina's bid to retain the World Cup, but the team's run to the championship match ensured another memorable tournament for its supporters.
Caucino's message highlighted the bond between Argentina and its fan base in India, where the national team continues to enjoy wide popularity. Even in defeat, the response from Indian supporters underscored how closely Argentina's World Cup journey was followed across the country.
