Lionel Messi, the superstar of the Argentina football team, dropped a bombshell about his potential participation in the FIFA World Cup 2026. Argentina defeated Venezuela 3-0 on Friday in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier, with Messi scoring twice. It was an emotional moment for Messi because it could be his final game on home turf. Following the match, he was asked if he will participate in the World Cup, and he answered that a lot depends on how he feels and how his preseason goes.
“As I previously stated about the World Cup, I do not think I will play again. Because of my age, the most logical conclusion is that I will not make it. But because we’re getting there, I’m enthusiastic and driven to play it. “I go day by day, depending on how I feel,” Messi stated after the encounter.

“I’m trying to feel well and, most importantly, be honest with myself. When I’m feeling okay, I enjoy it; when I’m not, I honestly don’t have a good time, so I’d rather not go. So we will see. I have not made a choice on the World Cup. According to Sports ndtv.
“I’ll finish the season, then go through preseason, and there will be six months remaining. So, let’s see how I feel. I’m hoping for a solid preseason in 2026 and a strong end to current MLS season before making a decision.”
Messi has not officially announced his retirement plans, but it is expected that he will play his final home game on Friday. The renowned footballer spoke openly about the audience and their support.
