Argentina have won Copa America 15 times in their history, which is the joint-most of any country, alongside Uruguay. They are the only team to have won the tournament three times in a row, between 1945 and 1947, whilst they are also the current holders having won in 2021. They have been successful in recent years, despite only winning once, as they have made it to the final four teams in each of the last four tournaments. They won in 2021, beating Brazil 1-0 in the final courtesy of a first-half Angel Di Maria strike. Before this, their last victory came in 1993, which was a second consecutive win. Three quarter-final finishes followed, before they withdrew from the 2001 tournament.
In 2019, they came third, but they made back-to-back finals in 2015 and 2016. Both finals ended in the same way, losing out to Chile in a penalty shootout. Chile were the hosts in 2015, and prevailed 4-1 on penalties after a 0-0 draw. The same result occurred a year later, though this time they won 4-2 in the shootout.
