Shipping worldwide The 1978 FIFA World Cup Argentina was the eleventh edition of the Football World Cup and took place in Argentina, between June 1 and June 25, 1978. The World Cup thus returned to South America for the first time since Chile in 1962. The tournament was played in six stadiums, spread across the cities of Buenos Aires, Rosario, Mar del Plata, Córdoba and Mendoza. The mascot of this World Cup was Gauchito and the official ball underwent a revolutionary change with the appearance of the Adidas Tango. This ball became a design classic that would last through five World Cups, and had greater waterproofing than previous designs. Neither the young Diego Armando Maradona, then seventeen years old, nor the Dutch star Johan Cruyff played in the tournament. But other renowned international footballers of the time did, such as Johan Neeskens, Teófilo Cubillas, Zico, Dino Zoff and Mario Kempes, as well as Michel Platini, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Paolo Rossi, among other notable values. The then world champion Paul Breitner was the only player who decided not to participate in explicit repudiation of the Military Junta.2 The local team was champion, whose main figure was Mario Kempes, recognized as the best player of the event. It was played with the same elimination system as in West Germany 1974: a first round with four qualifying groups, where the first two of each went to the second phase, in which the two finalists were defined. The final was played between the Netherlands, winner of group A, and Argentina, which qualified by winning group B. It was a closely contested match in which the teams had to go to extra time, since in the 90 minutes they had tied 1:1: 1. Finally, with goals from Kempes (2) and Daniel Bertoni (1), the Albiceleste team won 3:1, lifting the cup for the first time, after it had eluded them 48 years earlier in Uruguay 1930, when they lost by 4:2 in the final, against the local team. The tournament was played while Argentina was governed by a dictatorship that had imposed a state terrorist regime, boycotted by some international human rights organizations. The decision to hold the tournament in Argentina, the relations of the military dictatorship with FIFA, some questioned sports results and acts of corruption have been the subject of investigation and debate.
