The 1982 FIFA World Cup took place in Spain from 13 June to 11 July 1982. Each of the 24 participating nations had to submit a squad of no more than 22 players, three of whom had to be goalkeepers. The El Salvador squad comprised just 20 players.

Group 1

Italy

Head coach: Enzo Bearzot

Note: With the exception of the goalkeepers, who were assigned the traditional shirt numbers for the role (1, 12 and 22) the Italian team was numbered alphabetically within their respective positions – Defenders (from 2 to 8), Midfielders (from 9 to 14), Wingers (from 15 to 17) and Forwards (from 18 to 21).

  • Although players marked with an * (Allofs, Engels and Hieronymus) were on the list, they did not travel to Spain and stayed in West Germany as reserves, waiting if Derwall would require their services. However, he did not need them.

Group 3

Argentina

Head coach: César Luis Menotti Note that this squad is numbered alphabetically by surname, unlike traditional numbering systems where the goalkeeper has shirt number 1 and so forth. However, Diego Maradona and Patricio Hernández were swapped round to give Maradona his favoured 10.
