Lionel Messi may not participate in the 2026 World Cup. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This information was reported by "The Touchline" publication. According to the data, the 38-year-old footballer is still considering whether to play in the World Cup.

This decision will depend on his physical condition. If Messi does not feel 100% ready or notices even a slight decline, he may prefer not to participate in the championship.

Additionally, Messi considers the Major League Soccer (MLS) competitions in America not sufficiently competitive. He understands well that extra preparation is necessary to reach top athletic form before the World Cup.

This could influence his decision. It should be noted that Argentina will enter the 2026 World Cup as the reigning champion.

In the previous tournament, Argentina won the championship by defeating France in the final through a penalty shootout. Therefore, participating in this tournament requires great responsibility and physical readiness from Messi.
