Lionel Messi is keeping everyone guessing. At 38 years old, the 2022 World Cup champion has not confirmed whether he will participate in the 2026 World Cup, where Argentina aims to defend its title. In a recent NBC interview, the Inter Miami star opted for caution.
Cristiano Ronaldo is set to play, but what about Messi? He remains non-committal about joining the Argentine squad for the upcoming World Cup, intensifying speculation.
“Honestly, it would be extraordinary to play in this World Cup. I want to be fit and play an important role if I’m there,” Messi expressed. However, the Argentine icon is not making any promises.

When preseason with Miami kicks off next year, Messi plans to assess his situation day by day. “I’ll see if I can be at 100%, if I can truly help the team and the selection… and then I will make my decision.”
Argentina is already qualified for a World Cup that will take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, but fans will have to wait for Messi’s final call. Meanwhile, he remains tight-lipped, leaving the world holding its breath.
