Argentina‘s superstar Lionel Messi is not ruling out taking part in the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico. «I try not to be too hasty. I focus on enjoying every day. We’ll see when that happens. I don’t like to rush things. Hopefully I can continue to play at this level because that makes me happy,” Messi told the Spanish newspaper Mark.
I’m more focused on feeling good now.
However, Messi also emphasized that he was more concerned about staying in top shape than worrying about future milestones. «I’m now concentrating more on feeling comfortable, being happy and playing well. Whether I make it to the 2026 World Cup or not, we’ll see when the time comes,” he said.
On December 18, 2022, Messi was crowned world champion with the Argentine national team in the final against France in Qatar. For Messi, who had achieved everything in club football, it was the highlight of his career. Before the tournament, Messi had said that the Qatar finals would be his last.
