Overview
- Argentina faces Germany on Monday at 12:00 Argentina time at the Belfius Hockey Arena in Amstelveen, and the match will be shown live on ESPN and on Disney+ streaming services.
- Las Leonas enter the game with one point after a 1–1 draw with the United States while Germany leads the group after a 3–0 win over Scotland.
- The outcome matters for qualification because the top two teams in Group B advance to a second-phase grouping that leads toward the semifinals; Argentina will close the group against Scotland on Wednesday, 19 August.
- The fixture carries a personal subplot as Lucina von der Heyde, born in Argentina and a former Leonas standout, now represents Germany after obtaining German citizenship.
- Argentina has won the Women’s World Cup twice (2002 and 2010) and a win over Germany would strengthen their bid to move from group play to the tournament’s later rounds.
