Lionel Messi, who won the World Cup with Argentina, can defend the title in four years.
After the final, Albiceleste coach Lionel Scaloni hinted that the 35-year-old forward could have his place in the next World Cup.
"Messi will have a place in the lineup of the next World Cup. If he wants to continue playing, the number ten position will always be his," said the Argentine strategist.
In this championship, L. Messi scored 7 goals and made 3 assists.
In the World Cup final against the French, the PSG star scored a "double" and also successfully converted a penalty kick in the series, which was won 4:2 by the South American champions.
The next World Cup will take place in the summer of 2026 - in Mexico, Canada, and the United States.
