The Argentine women’s national team is performing exceptionally well in the ongoing Copa América being held in Ecuador. With two victories from two matches, they are on the verge of achieving their main objective: qualifying for the Final Phase and securing at least one spot for the 2027 Pan American Games in Lima.
Ahead of their match against Peru on Monday, the team, led by Germán Portanova, holds the top position in Group A with a perfect score. They have achieved wins against Uruguay (1-0) and Chile (2-1), while having one match free in the first round. Following them are Ecuador and Uruguay, each with four points, while Chile has three. Unfortunately, the Peruvian team has already been eliminated, failing to score any points.
If Argentina defeats Peru, they will secure at least second place in the group, allowing them to compete for third place in the tournament. Additionally, this win would guarantee their participation in the 2027 Pan American Games, with the potential to qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games if the upcoming match between Chile and Ecuador ends in a draw. Furthermore, a group win would allow them to compete in the final against the leader of Group B, which consists of Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Venezuela.
The schedule and results for Argentina in the 2025 Copa América include:
– Bye
– 1-0 vs. Uruguay
– 2-1 vs. Chile
– Upcoming match: vs. Peru – Monday, July 21 at 18:00 in the Independiente del Valle stadium
– Upcoming match: vs. Ecuador – Thursday, July 24 at 21:00 in the Independiente del Valle stadium
As per the tournament format, if Argentina tops their group, they will face the best team from the other group in the finals. If they secure second place, they will compete for third against the runner-up from Group B. Meanwhile, teams finishing between third and fifth place will qualify for the 2027 Pan American Games.
The Argentine team aims to clinch their second title in Copa América history, reinforcing their position in women’s football on an international level. As they progress, their strong performances could lead to more significant opportunities in the future, inspiring not only their current squad but also new generations of female footballers in Argentina.
