Lionel Messi still undecided about 2026 World Cup appearance

Lionel Messi — the eight-time Ballon d’Or trophy holder — has not yet confirmed his presence at the 2026 World Cup.

The Argentina national team captain will make a crucial decision this year — whether to continue his journey with La Albiceleste or end his international career.

The 37-year-old player has carved out remarkable achievements throughout his career — winning four Champions League titles with Barcelona and reaching the pinnacle by leading Argentina to World Cup victory in 2022.

Messi’s World Cup journey began in 2006 — taking almost two decades before finally lifting football’s most prestigious trophy with the Argentina national team.
