Despite losing their opening fixture 1-0 to Italy, Argentina will be hoping to build on their promising 2019 campaign and secure their first ever victory at a Women’s World Cup.
Desperate to escape the group stage for the first time, Argentina will now face South Africa and powerhouse Sweden in Group G after defeat to the Italians.
With Sweden expected to finish on top of the group, it will likely be a fight for second place between the other three nations.
The Sporting News takes a closer look at the final squad called up by Argentina manager German Portanova for the tournament.

Experience starts at the back in this Argentina squad, with 39 year-old captain, Vanina Correa retaining her spot in goal and Adriana Sachs commanding the backline with 32 caps.
The excitement in the middle of the pitch could well come from 21 year-old, Dalila Ippolito, who travelled to France for the 2019 World Cup when she was only 17.
Argentina have named seven forwards in their squad, including Estafania Banini, who has scored 8 times in her 16 appearances for her country.
