Argentina have their biggest games in the River Plate stadium, Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti however, they have also played at different venues like Rosario Central, (during the 2010 World Cup qualification) Estadio Unico Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero, Boca Juniors Stadium (La Bombonera) These venues were utilized for a few matches during 2022's World Cup qualification, along with Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes in Cordoba and Estadio San Juan del Bicennial in the province of the same name.
GEBA Stadium was the venue at which Argentina took part in their very first international games as a local team. The match , which took place on the 13th of September 1908, in the Copa Newton v. Uruguay is significant in being the first time that Argentine donned the white and light blue stripes, which would remain the standard uniform to the present. GEBA was also the site of the Copa Centenario Revolucion de Mayo that was the first major International South American competition organised in 1910. It was also the place where the Argentina National team had their final game at GEBA on the 19th of October 1919, when the team was awarded the Copa Premier Honor Argentino after beating Uruguay in a 6-1 win.
Another famous venue for Argentina was the Estadio Sportivo Barracas, which has a significant anecdote that was recorded in its history on the night of October 2, 1924 the day that Argentina defeated Uruguay 1-1 with an unconverted goal that was scored from the corner kicked of Forward Cesareo Onzari. Since that time, a goal such as Onzari's has been referred to as an Gol Ollimpico or Olympic goal. The stadium Sportivo Barracas served as the most frequent stadium for Argentina between 1920 and 1932. The stadium was later removed in 1937.
The first uniform used by Argentina during their debut against Uruguay on 1902 featured a blue light shirt. The 2nd of July, 1908 Argentina introduced the lighter blue vertical stripe on a white jerseys, as the team played against the team of Liga Paulista players at Velodromo Paulistano. This striped shirt has served as the official uniform ever since. The away kits have generally been dark blue hues and a variety of colors for socks and shorts.
Argentina had different kits before the white strip with blue stripes kit was officially adopted. The 3rd of June 1919 on the 3rd of June 1919 in Rio de Janeiro playing the "Roberto Chery Cup" against Brazil, Argentina wore a light blue uniform like Uruguay. The trophy was erected by the Brazilian Football Confederation ,for the benefit of the family members of Roberto Chery. Chery played as Uruguay's replacement goalie and passed away in the1919 South American Championship after collapsing during a match against Chile.
In 1958, at the World Cup, Argentina wore the yellow shirt that was worn by Swedish team IFK Malmo in the match against West Germany, as the team arrived in Sweden without an away kit.
The final moment of changing the jersey during the 1986 World Cup in Mexico is an unforgettable. The manager Carlos Bilardo asked the team kit maker Le Coq Sportif for a lighter blue shirt for the quarter-final game in three days' time against England but it could not be made available. The coach searched the stores of Mexico City for 38 shirt plain shirts. They were redesigned with an ingenuity model of the AFA emblem, which was embroidered onto the shirts. The shirts were also decorated with silver American football numbers were ironed on the backs. Argentina defeated England by scoring Diego Maradona's "goal of the century". The shirt became a symbol for the event and became an item of collector's value.
In this year's World Cup in Russia, Argentina unveiled an all black away kit, the first time in their history.

The Argentine Football Association ("AFA") logo has always been utilized as the team's emblem. It first appeared in the 1958 World Cup held in Sweden in Sweden, where Argentina included the AFA logo on their jackets but not the shirts.
But the AFA emblem was not applied to jerseys until the 16th of November in 1976, the day that Argentina faced the Soviet Union at Estadio Monumental. The initial logo was an enlarged version the emblem (without the laurel wreath which was added to 1982's World Cup).
In 2004 the two stars placed above the crest symbolised that the team won both FIFA World championships of 1978 and 1986.
