LODZ, Poland, April 2nd, 2026, Chainwire
BTCC, the world’s longest-serving cryptocurrency exchange, today announced its official partnership with the Argentine Football Association (AFA) as the regional partner of the Argentine National Team. The landmark partnership spans the full 2026 FIFA World Cup schedule, bringing together two names whose legacies have been forged through a long-standing history of excellence, resilience, and an unbreakable will to win.
Built for Champions: A Partnership Rooted in Shared History
Argentina’s football legacy is among the most celebrated in international history. As the reigning FIFA World Cup and Copa América champions, the Albiceleste have cemented their place at the top of the game. From the nation’s first World Cup title in 1978, through Diego Maradona’s defining performances in 1986, to Lionel Messi’s 2022 FIFA World Cup triumph, the Argentine team has built its standing match by match. Players like Gabriel Batistuta, Javier Zanetti, and Ángel Di María have each contributed to a legacy defined by consistency and resolve.
BTCC’s trajectory reflects a similar ethos. As the longest-serving cryptocurrency exchange in the industry, BTCC has navigated multiple market cycles since its founding, building its reputation through reliability and sustained performance.
“We believe the strongest partnerships reflect shared identity and ambition. Our collaboration with the Argentine Football Association is exactly the kind of partnership that shapes our brand. As we approach our 15th anniversary, it marks an important milestone in our global growth,” said Aaryn Ling, Head of Branding at BTCC.
Claudio Fabián Tapia, President of the Argentine Football Association, added: “When we looked at BTCC’s history in the industry, what stood out wasn’t just how long they’ve been around, but how consistently they’ve earned the trust of their users. That kind of track record matters to us, and it made this partnership a natural fit.”
