Argentina national team head coach Lionel Scaloni has commented on the possibility of team legend Lionel Messi participating in the 2026 World Cup. Scaloni emphasized that everything in this matter depends on Messi himself - he has the full right to make decisions.
The coach emphasized that the situation is currently positive, but the next six months could be a period of significant changes for both football and the athlete. Therefore, Scaloni stated that they respect any decision Messi makes and that the team is ready to support him under any circumstances. "We are patiently waiting for his decision. We hope that he will choose the right path for himself and the national team," the coach noted.
The Argentina national team will play in Group J at the 2026 World Cup. The opponents at this stage are teams such as Austria, Algeria, and Jordan, each with its own playing style and requiring different tactical approaches. According to fans, this group might seem easy from somewhere, but in practice, every match will be a test and requires a serious approach.
As a reminder, the World Cup will be held in the USA, Canada, and Mexico in 2026. The historical significance of the competition lies in the fact that it is being organized for the first time on the territory of three countries. This can also create various difficulties in logistics, climate, and travel.
Under these circumstances, Messi's participation or non-participation has become a particularly interesting topic for football fans worldwide. The national team, regardless of the decision or the lineup, is preparing to head to the USA to defend the title.
