Lionel Scaloni, in a move that blends experience and youth, has reserved the names of those who will seek to defend the title in North America.
This squad list is the mandatory step before the final cut to 26 players, which will be announced on June 2.
Lionel Messi leads a list full of key figures such as "Dibu" Martínez, Rodrigo De Paul and Julián Álvarez.

In addition, there is a strong commitment to domestic football, with heavy representation from River Plate and Boca Juniors, including surprises such as young goalkeeper Santiago Beltrán.
This 55-man preliminary list works as a safety net for the coaching staff. According to FIFA regulations, any last-minute replacement due to injury in the final squad must come strictly from these names.
For that reason, Scaloni has covered every position, including as many as six goalkeepers and multiple options at full-back to avoid unexpected issues before the debut against Algeria.
