In the summer of 2026, Argentina will try to defend the world champions title they won in 2022.

However, it is not yet clear whether the Argentinians will lead this battle with their longtime captain Lionel Messi.

The footballer himself revealed that he plans to make a decision over the course of this year.

"This year will be crucial in making a decision about the 2026 World Cup.

I would be lying if I said I’m not thinking about it,” said L. Messi in an interview with "Simplemente Futbol.”
