Argentina Women

The team played its first official match against Chile at Estadio Santa Laura on 3 December 1993, which ended in a 3–2 victory. Coached by Rubén Suñé, the Argentina starting line-up was: Valeria Otero (Independiente); María Gérez (River), Gladys Rodriguez (Boca), Corina Riccheza (Boca), Marina Martinez (Boca); Otilia Del Valle Acuña (Boca), Patricia Vera (Sacachispas), María Elizabeth Villanueva (Boca), Karina Morales (River); Fabiana Ochotorena (Boca), Liliana Baca (Independiente).

Two years later, Argentina achieved its biggest win over Bolivia, winning 12–0 in a 1995 South American Women's Football Championship match, played at Estádio Parque do Sabiá. Argentina reached the final of that tournament, but lost to Brazil 2–0.

The team reached the final of the 1998 South American Women's Football Championship, losing to Brazil again, this time 7–1 in Mar del Plata. In the semi-finals, they beat Peru on penalties 4–3 in dramatic fashion, with the scores at 1–1 after extra time.

In the 2003 Pan American Games, the team reached the semi-finals, where Brazil won 2–1 in a tight match. In the Bronze Medal match, Argentina lost 4–1 to Mexico, and finished in fourth place. Despite a lack of investment and interest, the women's national team played its first World Cup in 2003. They were drawn in a group with Japan, Canada, and Germany; Argentina lost all three matches and scored only once; their lone score was Argentina's first official goal at a World Cup, scored by Yanina Gaitán.

After their World Cup debut, the team went undefeated for 14 matches from 2005 until 2007, including throughout the 2006 South American Cup, where they beat Brazil in the final 2–0 to become champions. Their run ended when they lost a friendly with China 1–0 in June 2007. Three days later, they got revenge, however, and beat China by the same score. Since the team won the South American Cup, there were high expectations for the 2007 World Cup, played in China. However, the squad lost all matches again, including a record 0–11 loss to Germany.

With the 2006 South American Cup title, the team qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics, their Olympic debut. Argentina finished last with no points and only one goal in favor, although less goals were conceded than in the World Cup the previous year.

The team returned to play in the 2014 South American Games, with new coach Luis Nicosia, losing the opening match against Chile 1–0, but winning against Bolivia 4–0 and advancing to the semi-finals, where they won against rivals Brazil on penalties after a 0–0 draw. In the final, they won the gold medal with a 2–1 victory against Chile, meaning they won their first tournament since the 2006 South American Cup.

In the 2014 Copa América Femenina, the team finished second in their group, behind Brazil, with three wins and one loss, and qualified for the Final Stage. The top two teams in the final stage qualified for the 2015 Women's World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics, and the third-placed team qualified for a CONCACAF-CONMEBOL playoff for World Cup qualification. Argentina finished last in the final stage and missed out on the World Cup and Olympics.

In 2016, the team effectively did not exist, as the officials were more interested in investing in the men's side. Following a long struggle for better treatment, the team was restarted in 2017, and its former coach Carlos Borrello was reappointed as coach of the side.

In 2018, Argentina finished third at the Copa América, which qualified them for the CONCACAF–CONMEBOL play-off. Argentina defeated the fourth-place finisher from the CONCACAF Championship, Panama, in a two-legged play-off in November 2018 to qualify for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. In the team's debut, they managed a shocking 0–0 draw to Japan, former champions of 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, and gained its first ever point in any Women's World Cup. The next match was a narrow 1–0 loss to England, and then an exciting 3–3 draw to Scotland, after being down 3–0 with 25 minutes left. Although Argentina didn't qualify for the knockout stages, they put in a good performance, with two draws and one loss, finishing the tournament in the group's third place. The women's team's performance was deemed to be one of the country's watershed moments for the long neglected women's side, especially after the disappointing shows of the Argentine men's side in the 2018 FIFA World Cup and 2019 Copa América.

After the men's team winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup, it created an expectation of scoring the first ever victory at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. However, they only managed a 0–1 loss to Italy, a 2–2 draw to South Africa and a 0–2 loss to Sweden, finishing the tournament in the last place of the group stage.

On 27 and 28 May 2024, Lorena Benítez, Julieta Cruz, Laurina Oliveros and Eliana Stábile withdrew from the national team after a dispute with the Argentine Football Association over a lack of pay, mistreatment and injustices they have faced in the past and continue to endure to this day. However, Stábile would later reconsider her decision and return to the team.^[]
