Lionel Messi’s future in Argentina remains one of the biggest questions in world football. At the age of 37, will he still be fit enough to play in the 2026 World Cup?
In a recent interview, Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni shared that Messi wants to be part of the 2026 World Cup final held in Mexico, the US and Canada.
Of course, a lot can happen between now and then. Time is the best answer to that.
Lionel Messi’s desire to contribute to the Argentina national team is undeniable, but this depends a lot on his physical condition and form in the coming time.
Coach Scaloni and the coaching staff are always closely monitoring the situation of the 37-year-old star, because everyone wants to see this star step out in what could be the last World Cup of his career. If Messi participates in the 2026 World Cup, he could become a player who has participated in 6 World Cup finals.
