Lionel Messi Set for Emotional Final Appearance With Argentina
Lionel Messi is expected to pull on the Argentina jersey one last time as the football icon prepares for what is being billed as a special farewell appearance for the national team.
The Argentine Football Association has announced that the 39-year-old will take part in a match against Benin on October 6 at Buenos Aires' Monumental Stadium. The occasion is expected to give fans a final opportunity to watch Messi represent Argentina on home soil.
Over the course of his remarkable international career, Messi has become Argentina’s all-time leading scorer, finding the net 125 times in 207 appearances. His achievements with the national team include leading Argentina to the 2022 FIFA World Cup title in Qatar, one of the defining moments of his career.
The event is also expected to reunite several members of Argentina’s World Cup-winning squad, along with their families, for a celebration of the team's historic success.
Organizers are planning a tribute to honor Messi’s contribution to Argentine football, recognizing the impact he has had over nearly two decades in the national colors.
For supporters, the evening is likely to be far more than a friendly match. It will serve as a chance to celebrate the career of a player who helped shape one of the most successful eras in Argentina’s football history and became one of the sport’s most celebrated figures worldwide.
