There’s still a ways to go, but with leagues around the soccer world in full swing, fans from many countries are counting the days until the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It feels like yesterday that Lionel Messi was lifting the World Cup trophy alongside his Argentina teammates. Messi put the final bow on a one-of-a-kind career, but he’s still playing at an extremely high level and could feature in 2026 once again.
The Inter Miami star hasn’t confirmed yet if he will participate in the upcoming international tournament. While that remains to be seen, Argentinians got a glimpse at what Messi and other La Albiceleste stars could look like during the summer tournament in the United States.
