With a squad valued at €645m by the website Transfermarkt (as of 13/12/2022), Argentina's players are valued at 71% more than Croatia's (€377m), as the two nations prepare to face each other on Tuesday 13/12/2022 in their 2022 World Cup semi-final at the Lusail Stadium in Doha, Qatar (kick-off at 20:00 CET).

On social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter, as of 01/12/2022), the South American team is the 5^th most followed of the 32 teams participating in the tournament, with 17 million followers, 12.1 times more than their European rivals, who are in 20^th place, with just over 1.4 million.

The Albiceleste, who won the World Cup in 1978 and 1986, are third in the FIFA rankings, nine places ahead of the 12^th-placed Vatreni, whose best performance in a World Cup so far was a 4-2 loss to France in the 2018 final.

Argentina's dominance is also reflected in the value of the Federation's equipment supplier contract with adidas, which pays the AFA €23m per year, while the Croatian Football Federation (HNS) receives €1.5m from its partnership with Nike.
