Argentina’s men’s national field hockey team is in the 2026 World Cup semifinals, marking its return to the final four for the first time since 2014. Los Leones, as the team is affectionately known, now aim to match or improve their result at the time, winning the bronze medal against England, and a big part of their hopes rest on striker Tomás Domene.
The 28-year-old forward has been one of Argentina’s biggest stars in the tournament. His two strikes in the Leones 5-3 win over India took his goalscoring tally to eight.
His performance saw him overtake India’s Harmanpreet Singh and South Africa’s Mustaphaa Cassiem as the tournament’s leading goalscorer.
He also became the third player in Leones history to score 100 goals with the national team. It’s a feat previously only achieved by all-time Argentina top goalscorer Jorge Lombi and former player Gonzalo Peillat, who now represents Germany.
A brilliant career
