Argentina’s star WAGs are set to make a splash at the 2026 World Cup.

The Argentina national team arrives at the 2026 World Cup with one of the most glamorous and famous squads in world football – and their WAGs (wives and girlfriends of footballers) are no less impressive. From Antonela Roccuzzo – Lionel Messi’s childhood sweetheart – to pop superstar Tini Stoessel, the women behind these world champions are businesswomen, models, or influencers with millions of followers.

As Messi and his teammates embark on their journey to defend their title in the United States, the women behind them also bring considerable allure to the stands.

Antonela Roccuzzo – One of the most powerful figures in football
Antonela is considered one of the most powerful figures among Argentina’s WAGs. Lionel Messi’s wife has been by his side since they were children in Rosario, long before Messi won the Ballon d’Or or became a Barcelona legend.

The couple married in 2017 in a lavish wedding that Argentinian media dubbed “the wedding of the century.” Guests included stars such as Luis Suarez, Neymar, Gerard Pique, and Shakira.

Now the mother of three sons, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro, Antonela has become a global fashion icon, collaborating with renowned brands like Tiffany & Co. and Alo Yoga. She also frequently shares luxurious travel photos and images of her happy family life with her more than 40 million Instagram followers.
