What this site is

How we source statistics
Career figures move: different outlets count friendlies, super cups and unofficial matches differently. Where sources disagree, we use the figure reported by the national federation, the league or a wire service such as the Associated Press, and we say so on the page. Every article ends with a list of the sources used. Figures were last checked on 6 October 2026, before kickoff.
Main sources include the Associated Press, Buenos Aires Times, Major League Soccer, Inter Miami CF, NBC Sports, beIN Sports, ESPN, FIFA, UEFA, CONMEBOL and Guinness World Records.
Corrections
If you spot an error, email contact@argentinavsbenin.online with the page, the figure and a source. We fix confirmed mistakes and note the change on the page.
