Argentina has announced a series of international friendlies featuring Lionel Messi, marking his return to international soccer after his retirement following the 2022 World Cup.
The matches, scheduled for September 2026, will see Argentina play against Bolivia, Burkina Faso, and Benin, all in Argentina. The first match against Bolivia will take place at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium in Córdoba, followed by games against Burkina Faso and Benin at the Monumental Stadium.
Lionel Scaloni, the head coach of the Argentine national team, included Messi in the roster despite his previous retirement announcement. Scaloni's decision underscores the significance of Messi's return, as it could be one of his final appearances in an Argentina jersey.
The return of Messi is expected to draw significant attention, particularly as it coincides with a period of economic and political changes in Argentina. The country is also facing a potential conflict with the UK over the Falkland Islands, a dispute that has persisted since the 1982 war.
