Lionel Messi may not participate in the 2026 World Cup as part of the Argentina national team. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to The Touchline source, the 38-year-old footballer is considering whether to play in the World Cup or not. This decision will mainly depend on Messi's physical condition.

If he does not consider himself fully prepared, or even slightly feels that his form is insufficient, he may choose not to participate in the tournament. Additionally, Messi does not consider the MLS level competitive enough to prepare for the World Cup.

For this reason, he understands well the necessity to maximize his physical preparation. As the captain of the Argentina national team, Messi pays great attention to his form and condition.

In the 2026 World Cup, Argentina will participate as the reigning champion. In the Qatar 2022 final, Argentina defeated France in a penalty shootout to win the championship.

This time as well, the team is preparing to defend its title. Source: euro-football.ru.
