The head coach of the Argentina national football team, Lionel Scaloni, has expressed his determination to ensure that superstar forward Lionel Messi features at the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
Quoting Scaloni on X via sports journalist Fabrizio Romano, the coach said on Friday: “I’ll do everything possible for Messi to be there at the World Cup. I think for the good of football he has to be there, but he’s the one who will decide.”
Messi, currently playing for Inter Miami, is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time. However, he has yet to confirm whether he will participate in the next World Cup following Argentina’s triumph at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Scaloni’s remarks reflect both optimism and respect for Messi’s personal choice, highlighting the forward’s unique impact on Argentina and the global football stage. Fans worldwide are eagerly awaiting Messi’s decision, hoping to witness him compete in another World Cup campaign.
Meanwhile, Inter Miami announced that Messi is set to become part of a rare milestone in sports: regularly playing at his home stadium, which features a stand named in his honour. This tribute underscores Messi’s global stature and enduring influence on football.
