Lionel Messi showed off a retro Adidas kit on his Instagram as the Argentina captain wore his country’s 1994 FIFA World Cup kit.
Lionel Messi could follow the Diego Maradona path
Messi would be 39 years of age in the summer of 2026 when the World Cup takes place across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
He has the opportunity of playing a World Cup in the continent of America for the second time in his career. It would be Messi’s sixth appearance in the tournament.

Messi wearing the full 1994 Argentina kit on his Instagram Stories with the number 10 plastered on its back seems like he’s hinting at ending his international career on American soil, much like Maradona.
Passing up the opportunity to win a second World cup doesn’t seem like Messi, who already came out of international retirement in 2016 to eventually lift the coveted trophy a few years later. He’s currently shining in the MLS.
