Argentine football icon Lionel Messi has dismissed speculation about his participation in the 2030 FIFA World Cup, stating that his focus remains firmly on the present and on helping his team during the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026. Speaking to reporters in Texas during the tournament, Messi said he intends to continue playing football for as long as he feels physically fit and capable of contributing to his teammates' success on the field.
A viral social media claim suggesting that YouTuber IShowSpeed nearly "crashed out" after receiving a Lionel Messi jersey from Lionel Messi's wife during Argentina's FIFA World Cup 2026 match against Austria is false.
