Current FIH Indoor World Ranking: 20

Indoor World Cup history: Debutants.

Argentina are the current Indoor Pan American champions, having lifted the title in June 2021 thanks to a 4-2 victory over host nation USA in Spring City, Philadelphia. The South Americans finished top of the pile in a three-nation competition also featuring Canada, with Facundo Navarro and Agustin Ceballos both scoring four times in the event. Navarro and Ceballos feature in the initial squad named for Pretoria alongside Juan Eleicegui, who scored three times at the 2021 Indoor Pan Ams and gets the honour of captaining Argentina at their first ever Indoor World Cup. The team is coached by former Italy international Massimo Lanzano, with ex-Argentina outdoor star Guillermo ‘Willy’ Schickendantz taking the role of team manager.
