Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, has ruled out any
possibility of participating in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Messi said he would like to be at the venue of the 2026
World Cup to watch matches but not to participate as a football player.
Speaking to the Chinese media on a Chinese stream platform,
the 35-year-old, who led Argentina to win the 2022 World Cup in Qatar last
December, was asked if he would participate in the 2026 World Cup and the
former Barcelona captain said, “I don’t think I will participate in the next edition
of the World Cup.
“I have not changed my mind about that. I’d like to be there
to watch it, but I’m not going to participate,” he said.
The 2026 World Cup will take place in the United States,
Mexico and Canada.
