Lionel Messi's farewell from the Argentine National Team now has confirmed date and venue. After the 2026 World Cup, the team led by Lionel Scaloni will play three friendlies during the FIFA date in October. The last of these will be on Tuesday, October 6 against Benin, at the Monumental Stadium, where the captain will experience his last match in the albiceleste jersey.
Before this historic closure, the National Team will face Bolivia on September 30 in Córdoba and Burkina Faso on October 3 in Buenos Aires. Messi will not be present in those two matches.
