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

According to sources The Touchline and euro-football.ru, the 38-year-old footballer will decide whether to participate in the World Cup based on his physical condition. If Messi does not feel at his ideal level or notices some decline in his physical capabilities, he may choose not to take the field in the World Cup.

Messi does not consider the level of play in the MLS championship sufficient preparation for the World Cup. For this reason, he understands the need for additional training to maintain top athletic form.

This factor may also influence his decision. The 2026 World Cup could have been important for Messi since Argentina will participate as the reigning champion in this tournament.

In the last World Cup final, Argentina defeated France in a penalty shootout to claim the championship. However, for Messi, his health and physical condition come first.

Therefore, he is expected to carefully consider and decide whether to continue or end his international career.
