Spain managed to knock Australia out of the tournament after their masterful 95-88 Semi-Finals win over Australia.
Argentina reached the final two times before as they scooped the title in 1950 after defeating America. Their second final was against Yugoslavia in America, where Yugoslavia won the title.
On the other hand, Spain are looking forward to winning their second title as they claimed the trophy once before in 2006. France will face Australia on Sunday in the third-place play-off game.
"We knew that whoever wins the tempo wins the game. France is a great team, but they play differently than us. They don't run as much as we do. We knew that against us they will play the same way," Argentina head coach Sergio Hernandez said after the game according to the FIBA basketball official website.
"I think we won the tempo battle today. We made them play our game, and we played the best defense I've never seen from any team," Hernandez added.
