Messi is Argentina’s all-time leader in caps and goals scored, and he memorably led the team to the 2022 World Cup win in Qatar. Messi and co. just missed a repeat at this year’s World Cup, falling to Spain in the 2026 final.

Officials say all 85,000 seats at Monumental Stadium have been sold, with thousands of other fans expected to pack the surrounding streets for a chance to bid farewell to the sporting legend.
