The Argentina–Netherlands football rivalry is a highly competitive sports rivalry that exists between the national football teams of the two countries, as well as their respective sets of fans.
Unlike many football rivalries, this rivalry is intercontinental, pairing the Argentina national team from South America with the Dutch team from Europe.
Their first meeting was in an international friendly in May 1974, following which the two teams met just one month later in the group stage of the 1974 FIFA World Cup. Since then, the matchup has become one of the most common in the World Cup, with the two teams meeting a total of six times during the tournament.
In total, the Netherlands have won four games to Argentina's one, with the other five other matches ending in a draw, including two victories for Argentina in the World Cup knockout stages via penalty shootouts (2014 and 2022).
