After leading Argentina to victory in last year's tournament in Qatar, the 35-year-old stated that he does not anticipate featuring in the 2026 World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in North America.
Messi addressed the question of his potential involvement in the 2026 tournament during the video interview with Titan Sports. "I have said several times before that I don't think so, that that (2022) was my last World Cup," he affirmed.
