How many times has Argentina hosted the World Cup?
Argentina has hosted 1 World Cup. Argentina hosted its eleventh World Cup in 1978. And finally in the final on June 26, 1978, Argentina beat the Netherlands 3:1 to become the winner, which was the first World Cup title in the team's history. The process of the tournament was divided into the qualifying round, the 1st round of the group stage, the 2nd round of the group stage, and the knockout stage. Firstly, in the qualifying stage, Argentina, as the hosts, and West Germany, the previous World Cup winners, automatically qualified for the final round stage of the tournament, while the remaining 14 teams qualified through the qualifying rounds on each continent.
In the first round of the group stage, four groups were formed by the four first-tier teams of the Netherlands, Brazil, West Germany and Argentina. The top two teams in the group were able to advance to the second round, while the bottom two were eliminated outright. Then in the second round of the group stage, only 8 teams remained, which were divided into two groups, AB and AB. Group A included West Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and Italy, with the top two teams eliminated, Italy advancing to the third and fourth place finals, and the Netherlands advancing to the finals.Group B included Argentina, Brazil, Poland, and Peru, with Argentina advancing to the finals, Brazil advancing to the third and fourth place finals, and the bottom two teams eliminated. And the final result of the knockout stage, the third-fourth place final was won by Brazil 2:1 over Italy, and the final was won by Argentina 3:1 over Holland after going through regular time and extra time.
And there was a huge controversy in Argentina's progress to the final through the 2nd round of the group stage. At the time, Argentina needed to win their final match against Peru by at least 4 goals or more in order to top the group and advance to the final. The result was a 6:0 thrashing of their opponents, overtaking Brazil to top the group. For this match, there were tons of people in both Brazil and Peru who thought that Argentina won the match through shady dealings. Not only was the score too close, but the Peruvian players were also quite careless on the field. And afterward, Peruvian media reported that the two countries did have a private deal, but no evidence was given.
