Alongside defender Otamendi (Benfica Lisbon) and striker Alvarez (Manchester City), goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli and striker Thiago Almada were also part of the squad that won the title at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Lionel Messi (37), on the other hand, opted out of another Olympic appearance in favor of taking part in the Copa America. Otamendi, Alvarez and Rulli make up the Argentinian trio who may be older than 23 at the Olympic tournament.
